Leveling kit worries!

[mcd2484]

Evening everyone!

I had a pro shop install teraflex leveling kit today and also install fox shock takes offs and a full alignment.

drove 60 miles home and while inspecting the work noticed the drivers side spring looks a little bowed towards tire . I measured the space from ground to fender and also from tire top to fender bottom (both sides) and they are dead on. The stepped spacer on the bottom appears to be in a different position on the drivers side than the passenger side. Also noticed both top spacers are flat within the assembly and “teraflex,” is point out on both sides. Jeep rides great just didn’t know if it is a normal look or not. Pics below of my concern

It appears the factory rubber on top is not properly clocked with the spring. There are two rubber nipples on top of the rubber spacer that corresponds with 2 holes in the bucket. The Teraflex pucks have hard nipples to hit the holes and slots to accept the nipples on the rubber.

Think it’s safe to drive on till they can re clock the springs?

The bow isn't severe, don't do any off roading and avoid the semi sized pot holes and you should be okay.

Awesome, see I paid someone not to have these issues lol, much appreciated!

Soooo brought back to the installer who showed me on the lift the spacers were on the correct placement point. He said the bow isn’t from installation it’s from pulling. He said with the new geometry it is compensating for the hight. On the ground he measured the drivers side tire is out 1in further than the passenger side. He said so the bow is there and would be corrected with an adjustable track bar. I’m good with ordering more parts I just rather get the forums opinions as you all have done this before.

The axle should not be out an inch with a leveling kit should be around .25” I would get Daystar lower spring pads, they should correct the bow, this is the part number KJ09180BK I have these installed on my JT with a Daystar leveling kit. I wouldn’t bother
with a track bar.

Teraflex also recommended that as well, will order asap. You guys are great I trust the advice here as there’s no vested interest ie o will tell him it wasn’t my work or something. Helps so much especially with a daily driver!
