So I just installed my 2" lift on my 2001 XJ this past weekend. 2" coil spacers out front and a bastard pack in the rear. 2 questions.

1) It seems that my front not level. It varies between sides and height difference. One time I measure passenger side is .5" higher, the next time I measure driver's side is .25" higher. What does that mean? I still have the front sway bar in (although I didn't for about a day). What would cause this.

2) The ride is pretty stiff in the rear. I only added the main leaf from a chevy blazer. I was told that loosening my spring clamps will soften the ride. Is that true?

Thanks

 

For the rear: the rough ride is probably due to poor shackle angle

 

Don't loosen the spring clamps, it's a 4x4, it's going to ride like a 4x4. as for the front, you sure you're on level ground?

 

HAHA. level ground

 

I have appeared to be on level ground but I suppose it isn't entirely possible to tell. It will probably settle out. As for the rough, I am actually beginning to enjoy it.
