Today I installed my new RC 4.5" leaf packs and I've got an issue with my drivers side shackle. It seems to be sitting too far forward. The passenger side shackle is pretty much vertical but the driver side is pretty much in line with the arch of the spring. Any thoughts on what I can do about it??

 

By chance is your driver side tire closer to the front of the wheel well than the pass. side? The reason I'm asking is to make sure the you dont have the spring backwards.

 

the springs are going the right way, the main eye bushings are HUGE compared to the shackle side bushings so its pretty easy to tell.

 

Any unibody damage on that side?

 

no damage that i'm aware of. everything looks straight.

 

Did you torque everything down with the jeep in the air, or on the ground under its own weight?

Can you provide a few well lit pictures.

 

it was in the air. i haven't set it down yet, still need to get the shocks installed. i'll put up some pictures tomorrow if i don't figure it out.

 

make sure when you do your final torque down, that the jeep is on the ground on its own weight.

sounds to me its just sitting up in the air with the axles just hangin there.. one side of the axle is just hangin lower, wait to see how it sits on the ground.

make sure its on the ground, Also make sure you retorque after 400 to 500 miles if that.

 

great comments guys!! My shackles a forward too.. I'll follow this advise myself.
