Hey guys. First post here. I could use a little help from the pros.
I’ve installed a Rubicon express 5.5” lift today and for the most part everything went as planned with the exception of the front passenger side could spring and bump stop alignment.
for some reason the bump stop itself is sitting like 1.5ish inches back toward the rear of the truck which is throwing the coil spring all out of whack. The driver side seems to be perfect.
when I installed the adjustable lower control arms the instructions suggested the control arms be the same length as stock for a 2.5” lift (24” long) and for a 3.5” lift adjust the arm to 24.375”. So I guesstimated they be set at 25” for a 5.5” lift.
With both arms adjusted to 25”,
The passenger side lower bump stop not only sat left of center to the upper, but it was also angled/leaning towards the back. I adjusted the passenger side arm to 24” hoping it would help rotate the differential and it straightened the lower bump stop up and down but it still sits left of center.
I measured the distance from center wheel hub to center wheel hub and the passenger side has a 1.5” shorter wheel base than the driver side.
Anybody have any clue what could be pulling the passenger side close together??
