Alright well i finished my lift today and everything was fine the only problem i had was breaking a upper shock bolt.......Now after checking everything and some measuring i see that the passenger side is just about an inch shorter then the driver's side everything looks nice and tight.....This has me stumped and was wondering if anybody else has had this problem happen to them before or if anybody has a clue what it could be?!?!?!?


Thanks.......

RC AAL.
Is it an inch shorter on the front, rear, or both? Is the difference even on both wheels?

It's lower an inch on both the front and rear on the passenger side only........

thats weird..... there usually higher on the passengers side.... a lot of new vehicles come like that from the factory cause its the ditch side....... are your coils sitting in the buckets correctly? are the isolators in on both sides?

go to home depot get three bags of quicksand 60lbs apiece and just put them on whatever side is high should level it out

From what i could tell everything on all 4 corners is where it's supposed to be....Now i just measured it again and it's only off my 3/4 of an inch so im thinking maybe it's starting to settle?!??!

Im also wondering if it could be from not having an allignment done yet which im doin tomm......

Anybody else?!?!?!

For the front coils, did you make sure that they were "clocked" correctly?
The bottom end of the coil is supposed to drop down into a hole/slot/groove thing, IIRC.

Yes sir!!!!

Im also thinking when i did my "test" of articulation i drove up the the hill on the driver's side only and not the passenger side maybe i need to drive up the passenger side as well to settle it a little better lol?!?!?!

uneven ground. it looks level its not. most jeeps have a issue like this , im sure its not that noticeable but if everythings right then go buy .75 coil spacer and put it on the side thats unlevel. thats 3/4 inch

oh ^ im being a smart *** by the way. i wouldnt worry about something that minor. it wont effect anything.

if you just put the lift in then i would not worry..... its still got tons of time to settle... just take it down a dirt road and bounce the **** out of it... thats what i'd do!!!

Well i took her out to the woods today to test everything out and it looks like it has settled down some so everything is all good......

Thanks guys........
