Problems with new OEM replacement coils and leafs
'98 XJ Classic, 4x4
Okay, so I didn't like my 2"BB lift and pulled it off to replace it with new OEM replacement rear leafs and coils. I bought the heavy duty leafs which have a 7" arc and the heavy duty front coils, which are 17" long unloaded. Now my Jeep sits 1.25" higher in the back. I thought the back would be level with the front. It's not and looks ridiculous. Also, the 17" springs are actually shorter than the stock springs by about 3/4". Anybody know what I did wrong? I ordered the parts from Quadratec. Is it possible I ordered the wrong parts?

yeah, I thought about that, but I'm worried the back and front will start to settle at the same rate and I'll have the same problem, just lower.
