Maybe I'm just used her rear sagging.
But she seems awfully high in the back with 3.5in. Lift
May remove the overload spring leaf that will drop her rear a little.
Also have the sway bar discos adjusted as short as possibe but they seem to be too long.
Opinions, please.
it's not just you...............it does look that way
but I suppose it could be a spacer with ribbed sides...since if the coils were compressed, they be done so evenly across the coil, not all up top
Did you tighten the rear shackles/spring with weight on the axle or not ?? That may be part of it...need to tighten them with the jeep sitting on the axle as it would normally.
Correct. It is Metalclaok front coils that are sposed to be that way. Old Man Emu rear leafs that came with the kit. 3 1/2 in. Lift that got me 22 1/2 in. From center of the wheel to the bottom of the flare on back and 22 in. on the front. Tightened with the weight on the wheels. 235 75 15 tires
Figure out which height you prefer and modify whichever end to match.
If you want to lower the back then remove the 3rd leaf.
If you want to lift the front to match then add a spacer.
Hacking up a quality leaf pack is kinda stupid. 1) Get better coils to match or 2) Get some spacers for the front. If the extra lift bothers you. But know that ALL leafs will sit higher than advertised until they break in and settle.

Making a 3" lift leaf spring that actually lifts 4", due to an extra leaf added by the factory, and advertising it as a 3" lift leaf spring that may need the extra factory installed leaf removed to only lift 3" is kinda stupid. http://www.morris4x4center.com/old-m...b-cs033rb.html

Leafs WILL sit higher, regardless of brand untill they break in. I have Deavers, one of the best you can get. I ordered a 5" pack and at first they sat at 6.5". After breaking in and settling, they sit where they need to be.
Suggesting to hack up a well known good product instead of letting them break in and settle properly is just asinine. OP will spend all that time just to remove those leafs, drive it around, settle lower than the front just to take it apart all over again to re-install the leafs he took out?
Now, if patience is not y'alls strong point, I suggest getting about 4-5 50lb sandbags or loading the back with gear and driving around for about a week. That will help settle the springs faster.

Umm it's not just morris. Ome is advertised like that everywhere. You have to read the description. Can't just blindly assume. That's ome fault. Not retailers.
