Quadratec Leafs are Crap?
 
When I bought my Jeep it had the reverse spring sag/lean going on in the back. The right spring was the worst and the Jeep had a noticeable lean to it.

So back in about November or December I ordered the heavy duty leafs from Quadratec.

Here we are in April and I have put maybe 3000 miles on the Jeep since then. The *** is sagging again. And, it's leaning to the right like the stockers. The springs also look flat.

I carry two tool boxes, a tow rope, a shovel, some D-rings and some fluids in the Jeep. It's maybe 150 pounds. It has only had one person in the back seat ever. And I pulled my 16 foot boat with it once.

WTF is going on?

what brand of leafs did you order from quadratec? AAL? full leafs? qaudratec isnt a fab company istelf. it takes parts from a bunch of different companys and sells them for the companys. you need to find the brand of the leafs you got to determine why they are already sagging.

i got some sway bar links from them. the "preformance" ones for 30 bucks. they both snapped w/ in 2 weeks. no off roading, no abouse. just snapped... my point is that quadratec, while offering quality parts, isnt affraid to stock some really ****ty ones as well and try to pass them off as preformance... the ones you got look OEM. and OEM saggs. get an AAL if you want to throw another bandaid on, or drop some cash for good ones...

I'm on their live chat now, waiting for a rep. Found my order. I placed it on December 6th!

Told me to call between 9 and 5 on Monday for warranty claim. We'll see how that goes. Good thing I opted for the heavy duty springs ...

That is bad.... Ya got a bad pack for sure. The ones I installed are still sitting nice and even. They should warranty them no problem after seeing this picture.

It used to sit up high but even the one on the left is lower than it should be. It is completely flat while the one on the right looks like a rainbow.

Couple questions..

This always been a NC vehicle? I have seen XJ's sit like this after the spring mount and floor rotted and it collapsed, see that you dont have that issue.

See any obvious breaks on one of the leaves in the pack? I'd suspect the mainleaf.

Yea Quadratrac is mostly a middle guy in the products. Thats why I don't buy from them unless you like paying extra $$$$.
