just installed yjs - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

I just installed a set of 5leaf pack yjs on the rear of my sami. It is a 1/2 an inch lower on one side than on the other. this isn't that bad but the front drivers side corner is a 1 1/2 inches lower than the other side <IMG SRC="smilies/pissed.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/confused.gif" border="0"> any ideas why.
I moved my hanger foward 2.5" and stuck on confer shackles for a yj(just shimmed the top).

does one of your springs have more arch than the other? otherwise i'd break out the measuring devices and start looking to see where you messed up. .5" isn't bad but a 1.5" lean is more than i'd be willing to live with.

I'd say that one of your springs has lost its arch, maybe see if you can get ahold of another pack and try it. Or try switching the packs around and see if the difference of height is still the same on the other side with the packs swithced. Do you live off of 93rd ave in tummwater? Gray sammy?

that I do Nuttzack. I figured it out. one of the springs was twisted and the shackle kicked to one side making the height lower on one side.

Nuttzack- where abouts are you from? I would like to see your sammi and maybe do some wheelin. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/smokin.gif" border="0">

I live in Olympia. I work out at thurston county roads by your house, so I see your sammy all the time. I like it! HOw are those Yj's compared to stock springs. Yeah, we are gonna have to go wheelin some time, maybe when I finish my zook. Probably in about 2 or 3 months(dammit). It's all on blocks right now waiting for Coil kit and more money.
