Alright just got the S/R done threw the wranglers on and dropped it down on the axle. Looked pretty damb good but something looked out of wak so I started measuring stuff thought
maybe I screwed up on my original measurement and welded the drivers side front frame spring hanger back to far cause the drivers side wheel looks like it sits farther back than the pass
thats not it everything measures out perfect so just for the hell of it I measured the springs center pin on the drivers side it is literally a full 1/4" back in the spring. what do you guys think redrill the spring or drill my top plate and perch to correct the diff:question:

Are the springs off the same year Jeep? I don't know how your center pin could be off 1/4" unless one is bent or a aftermarket spring. Are they the same measurement from the front and the back to the center pin? Check this stuff before you start drilling holes. It would be easier to drill the pearch than the spring if you go that route.:D

nope checked, these springs have a double wrap on one side single on the other both pressed bushings are side by side
ended up setting them up and redrilling the spring moved both1/2" forward it appears fine now that there both at the same measurement but I tell you 1/4" doesnt seem to be alot
untill you look at the truck sideways it was very noticeable oh well
thanx for the input but fixed now

It's a JEEP thing, guys -
you wouldn't understand...... :rolleyes:
:D :D :D
Guess I'd either drill the spring perch, else round up another spring.
Where are the pic's??

Anyone got pics, before and after maybe, of some YJ setups? I'm running a 4.5" SPOA and am wondering just how much bigger it'll be with the YJ springs. I will probably go for the TT/RRO Missing link setup.
Got PICS?

Nobody got pics or info for YJ's?
I'm interested in the S/R setup up front and maybe M Missing Links out back? Feedback?
