I've been looking on your website for the lower control arm replacement bracket and have not seen it specifically spelled out as such. What am I missing? Tj d30 front lower control arm bracket

Thanks, Tucker

These are pretty sweet and I plan on adding these in when I upgrade the front to 3 link. Right now I am looking for a similar "all-in-one" bracket for the rear to fit my 8.8 I am swapping into my TJ. TIA, Murph

I just bought a set of these for my '04 Rubicon to replace my broken stocker. So far I've been able to get everything up & going pretty easy, but I've run into a roadblock. Forgive my ignorance, but doing some searching on here hasn't exactly answered my question, so I figured I'd ask the manufacturer.

On the spring retainers, I'm completely unfamiliar with the way they function, but from the pictures & looking at them in person they seemed pretty straight forward. But when I put the spring in the retainer & bolt it down, since the bottoms of my coils aren't level, the spring leans in the direction of the short side. WTF am I doing wrong? If I pull the spring by hand to a vertical position, the bottom coil or two are still leaning, which I know can't be the right way, especially on a daily driver.

Here's some pics so you can point out my stupidity & show me how to fix this. Aside from this issue, everything else has gone as easily as expected.

Yes, under their own weight they will bow out to one side, but they will straighten out once the upper half is captured as well. A few manufacturers grind the bottom of their springs to prevent this, but stock tj/xj coils are uneven on the bottom. We may come out with a contoured bottom pad that will 100% cure this problem, but it may be a while out.
