FYI this has nothing to do with how we treat the trails. It's the secretary of the interior is an extreme leftist and doesn't want people to be take to take vehicles off-road. These people making these rules don't follow logic or reason.
They don't realize if it wasn't for the off-road community...

good price for the set. $91 for fuel, oil, and air filters.
roughly 10k miles. They would work great for being loaded with gear. The 2.5” front set with 3.5” rear set is ideal. I just changed up both because of the diesel springs. Figured I sell off both as a set. Wanted to try out the HD ones. Not sure if I can tell much difference from the HD springs...
Thanks for bring that to mind. Very easy mistake.
Fortunately was able to fix my issue by adjusting the upper control arms. Made them shorter to get the lower portion of the spring/ bump stop to sit more center / in line with the upper spring/ bump stop.
All good now just had to play around with the upper control arms. In my case had to shorten them up. you can see on the driver side where there was rubbing. Now there is none.
As for my measurements spoke with Clayton. Unless you get a professional alignment readout really don’t know caster...
They told me to check my caster etc. and then adjust accordingly to have 5°. Pretty close. It looks like I have about 2° + on passenger side and -5° driver. So going to adjust my driver side control arms a little. That is the side that has the weird it’s angle.
That is correct running factory lower pads. Have about 30k miles on them. From what I can tell from the install no issues. Seem to be in good shape to me.
From What I understand springs should have some bow. The ones I took off had a little, but towards the in board of the JT. Went from 2.5” springs to 2.5” diesel springs front and 3.5” to 3.5”
Hd springs in rear. Not much change other than stiffness of spring and free length. Surprised the rock...
Have Clayton off-road springs for sale:
2.5” lift front springs 1508350
3.5” lift rear springs 1510351
$175 a pair or $300 for the set.
been happy with the springs and lift. Swapped over to the HD springs and diesel springs.The 2.5” springs only gave me about 1.7” of lift with diesel JT ...
Here are some pictures of mine. Just installed 2.5” diesel springs after running 2.5” for a year. A lot more bow.
