Synergy front springs 8863-10 question/ BUMP STOPS

[poopsleeve]

Clear as day , they missed the passenger side. Only 1 tab is correct.
Good thing my ram is still in their parking lot. Will be there in the morning for them to correct.
This frame shop has been around for 50+ years. My dad used to use them. I'm kinda let down they missed something so easy.
I still cannot post any pictures again for some reason but it definitely the top spring isolator.
Ty for all the help. Always learning something new about my JT.

This is out of the instructions booklet:

The new Synergy springs are stamped with a part number. The last two digits of the part number indicate which side of the vehicle they go on. The -01 is the driver side (left) spring. The -02 is the passenger side (right) spring. The flat end of the spring is the bottom.

Are the springs on their respective sides? The full part number will be on the coil. While not expressly stated, I also aligned my springs so the part number faced outward as shown in their figure 2 example. This may or may not mean anything and just my OCD to some degree.

Those alignment nippled are a pain in the pooper........... when swapping rear springs or installing spacers, etc. - the dang top isolators fall out and are tough to get those aligned in the holes again.
I've gotten to the point where I just plain pull them clear down, use 3M 8001 super weatherstrip adhesive and GLUE the darned things in place. Otherwise, putting a spring in by yourself can be a real problem when those top isolators keep dropping down.
Get them aligned and glue them in. Problem solved.

Yeah, the rear is a pisser, especially if done by yourself and raising both sides at the same time. Slow and steady game there.

While he has that back there for the bow correction - that should be checked (although it wn't cause the bow if they are switched)

While not expressly stated, I also aligned my springs so the part number faced outward as shown in their figure 2 example. This may or may not mean anything and just my OCD to some degree.

Shouldn't matter with their springs - flat on each end, the way the coils are made, but I did the same or as close as I felt like getting after wiping the sweat off.
I never bothered looking to see if the part numbers are always, consistently, on the exact same coil section of every spring they make or if there's some deviation. I'll have to open up my 1" synergy springs and take a look.

Anyway, while it's back for the bow problem, good idea for them to check correct left and right placement.

I can't see either stamp, I did tell them specifically before hand and will have them check when they adjust passenger side.

01 left /Driver
02 right /Passenger

Correct - at least for gas powered.

And referencing Hootbro's comment - they don't say, but............ implied by picture???

My luck , both stamps are rotated inwards and not visible but I did tell them 3 times and handed them 2 copies of instructions. One I printed and 1 that came with them.

I bought 2 cheap scissor jacks. When I am putting springs in, I use one sissor jack on each side. I put the first spring in and put just enough pressure with the sissor jack to keep the sping isolator up in place, then I do the other side the same way.

That is the only way I can keep the isolator in place doing it by myself...

Spring isolator adjustment complete. Happy , straight , stronger front springs installation complete.
For some reason I still cannot upload any pictures. Thought my c shaped spring , spring perch pics would help someone else. Wanted to post them today and wrap up this thread. Appreciate everyones help.

Is the lift the springs provided what you were looking for? I’m trying to decide between synergy 1 or 2 inch springs to recover sag of steel Mopar bumper, winch plate, and winch.

I am very happy with the firmness of the synergy springs.
1" did me right , higher speed driving and no nose dive on harder braking.
More truck like , not "74" Bonneville floating.
I went with Fox 2.0 suggested by Dave at polyperformance. 2"-3" lift shaft length also per his suggestion.
Sits perfect too, rake is less noticeable almost have to look twice to see it.
I will try once again to post a pic for you but for 2 days nothing has uploaded for me.
Hold on ...

Still no luck posting pics.
I can honestly say I got full 7/8" of lift up front. Can use factory end links no problem with the 1" . Have to ask when you order your springs if you do 2" if can use factory end links. Obviously the angle of my sway bar did change some but nothing major.
I have steel mopar bumper only so far.
I would go 2" if your doing it for weight. My opinion.
Truck will still have 1/2-1" of rake ill bet with 2" synergy 8863-02 I believe is the part #..
Good luck, have fun !
