Good luck, Floyd. Hope you get the coil spring sorted. Will keep an eye out for your posts. Always liked Pampa.

Went ahead and tightened everything up. don't know if i should rotate the spring or what, maybe someone here has dealt with this already. Planning on moving to the rear end with a bastard pack tomorrow. got the leaf spring from RC but they say it will only gain 1 1/2" to 2" so I'll probably use it somewhere in the pack but.......I"ll figure it out. If anyone has a clue on the bump stop, coil spring interference, I'm listening. Hope all had a great weekend Jeeping while I was working. lol

Sounds like you're still running the stock track bar. If so, that's your problem. The OEM track bar is inadequate at that height without either redrilling the axle-side hole or using a trac bar bracket drop (not recommended). Both methods are meant to be a temp solution until you can get an adjustable trac bar. Essentially what is happening is that your trac bar is pulling the axle toward the driver's side of the Jeep since that's where it's connected at the frame.

Nice! Where'd you get Neoprenes for 45 a pair? I'd like neoprene covers, but all I was aware of were the Wet Okole's for big chee$e.

There was a separate thread in OEM tech. I was having occasional converter lock up failure.

I researched all different brands and materials. Was going to have to spend $200 until I found these, made by Jaybally. They are working well so far, much better than a t-shirt over the backrest..
