front passenger side is sagging.
Did a axle swap to 410 gears and I adjusted my track bar and let my jeep down and it was sagging just on the front passenger side. I have a 4.5 in rc long arm lift and its less than 6 months old. My coil is compressed can it be a bad coil?

its not from dropping it off the jack. Are both coils seated properly in the coil bucket on the axle? Is the gap consistent between each coil wrap...compare both sides.

They seem to be seated correctly, one side of the passenger side coil is normal but the other side of it barely has any space between each spiral it almost looks bent?

check to see if your sway bar link connections (bracket that holds your sway bar link to the axle) are at the same level on both sides. I had to make a new bracket on the drivers side but when i was done the drivers side sat higher. so i adjusted the swaybar link bracket down so the both links would be level and now it sits level

Well its parked on level ground and the front passenger side still sags even with my swaybar disconnected... I had to flex a bit just to get the passenger side in after the axle swap. Ill post pics in a second

i've been there, i thought it was a coil myself.
guess what? it was one rear leaf flattened (brand new RE leafs, different spring rates. RE sent me 2 new ones).
with the one leaf flattened, the other leaf was pushing the opposite front coil down, so it appeared.
but it's just a suggestion, use your own judgement.
good luck.

is the isolator still above the coil?
coils don't usually sag. sure they bow, but that doesn't really make it sag.
mine old 5.5" RE coil was bowing, but didn't loose any lift height.
seriously, check out the rear.

Well I swapped out the rc coils and got clayton offroad coils still nothing. I measured the back on level ground and and both side are nearly the same but the front passenger side is still a inch and a half lower than the driverside. Seems like its gettin a bit worse now my fender catches my tire at full turn. Wat I was wondering is it possible my unibody is sagging or maybe a bent axle? Or would it be possible to have a saggy rear leaf in the back and it not be too off in the back but could it be making the front sagg? Idk got a headach from all this and I can't upload pics from my phone... So any advice on new points to measure or places to look would be great
Thanks
Thanks
