ok so my rear axle is way forward in the wheel well on the passanger side and i cant figure out why, i tried re centering it, the locating pins are there and working, the axle is not bent as i measured on each side of the housing and its shows that its off there also, o am running 3" blocks and 2" shackels, i dont know if this is the issue or not im thinking about pulling the blocks and seeing if this helps any but i really cant see how it can, any help would be appreciated

 

Any chance the spring is in backwards on one side?
The axle moves up and back as the suspension cycles so they should be foward of the wheelwell centerline.

 

no they have never been off but my axle does seem to move up and forward on compression

 

Measure the lengths of the center pin on each side of both leaves and make sure they are the same on each side

 

they are the factory leafs

 

broken center bolt?

 

one leaf could be wrapped a bit more than the other and it would be more pronounced with those blocks. imo blocks should never be used on an xj, on factory springs, and on something wheeled. and you meet all 3 of those.

 

yea i know blocks are gone later this week, im hopeing the new leafs should fix it, i pulled a bunch of diffrent measurments and every thing seems square on the jeep its self, im going to buy re spring perche's just incase they have adjustable mounting holes that way i can set my wheel base up where i want it

 

i dont know what the re's are like.

but id reccomend ruffstuff.

3 holes to fine tune wheelbase and they are nearly 8" long which helps a bit with axle wrap

 

wow i was going with the re's because they were 6" long but 8 is even better!

 

wow i just checked out there sight and that have tons of stuff! any opinion on pinion angle with out a sye? im only going to order 4" springs and i have a t-case drop already

 

With no SYE the pinion should be parallel to the output shaft on the X-Fer case:

Do you have a broken main leaf ?

 

thats what i though thanks for the info backing it,


and the main leaf isant broke but they are sagged about flat

 

main leaf is now broken... must have been right on the verge before
