Sagging on one side - looking for input // Clayton Off-Road

[Gvsukids]

Couple that with the gas tank and the driver (you), the driver side should squat more,

Passenger side has the gas tank.

Did you try calling Clayton? Or message them on here?

Before buying anything I would do the following.

1) Verify the springs are seated correctly.
2) With the jeep on the ground. Loosen the upper and lower rear control arm bolts and then re-torque.
3) Re-center the rear axle, provided you have an adjustable track bar
4) Swap the rear springs from side to side.

If your lean swaps sides when you do the spring swap, contact Clayton to see if they can help you out.

Measure the springs between upper perch and axle.

Change springs you will need a hd spring for when your over load and a air spring will help to prevent new springs from falling

This is a good possibility. JK's also suffer from right side lean.

Mine was low on the left, but my diesel fuel tank is on the left. So is my refer, tool roll, and my fat ass? I was 7/8" low at the coil bucket, so I took 3/4 of a coil wrap off if the top of the right spring to level since I was OK with the truck coming down an average of 3/8".

2" is a LOT of difference.......After you dial in the track bar length, you might consider taking a measurement at the coil buckets to get an actual measurement of how much the coils are compressed. If it's only 1/2-1", might consider trimming the coil.

And this is why I go to the Forums because the amount of information is priceless.

I think I have good marching orders to fix this thing.

1) Center the axle - I got plenty of good info on that and can make it happen.
2) Swap the springs - that will be a pain but will do it if centering doesn't work
3) New Springs - I already contact Clayton Offroad and I can just buy the rear springs and not the whole kit, which is absolutely awesome. Shout out to those guys for getting back to me really quickly

Now I just need to find the time to do all this...

Thank you all!

You mean you can actually learn something on the Internet?

You definitely need to swap the rear springs around before ordering replacement set. Stuff happens and one could have slipped through on QA-QC and not have correct tempering or incorrect load range. Just look up all the different factory coil springs that are out. Over 12 different part numbers if I remember correctly.

Well?
