Level?

Level?

Yes ??. With a full tank of gas, the driver side sits 1/8" lower. Thanks everyones for the helps.

It seems I'm a bit late the party. I have a Willys Diesel, read through this thread and didn't see any other Willys posts here. So I figured I'd add info for other potential Willys ED folks. I believe we're the only package running the red Rubicon (JL?) shocks. Build date is July-21. I'll add additional info about my experience with @JeepCares in one of the other bottoming-out posts. Mine defintely bottoms out.
Springs: 6377A both sides

Is this just for rubicons?

Holy crap, if this is only for Rubicons, they have a big issue here. This should NOT be appropriate. I have been waiting since I bought my diesel. I cant even take it offroad until this gets fixed.

@JeepCares

This problem needs to be addressed and fixed for ALL 2021 diesel gladiators.

I guess my salesperson was correct they fix the problem on 2022 model!

How do we know this??

We are waiting to see if there is a separate TSB for other trims.

Sport S Ecodiesel non max tow bottoms out. Same number both sides

So something odd, I have a 22 S ecod with 6377AA on both sides, doesn't bottom out. I also note I have a grey rubber insert that my yellow jounce bumper sits in.

Are we looking at on passenger side? The rubber bumper stop for sure it's different from 2021.

Yes this picture is passenger side looks like they might have changed the jounce bumpers for 22. Yellow in a grey insert which then seats into the black metal. My sport S also has the same part number springs as wxmans overland. I was under impression Overlands had different suspension.

Yeah I don't have that cute little grey thing. Curious what your jounce to top of pad measures. Mines right around
1 3/4"

 

[Vtur]

Maybe it's a mini hydraulic bump stop? Can you stick a screw driver down that center tube, to see what's in there. Mine Overland came with the same 6377 springs on both sides as well. Also, the bottom grey spring isolator is also different from 2021

 

[Vtur]

Attached are stock passenger side spring isolator (same as the one came with the 2" lift kit). Notice where the coil end is higher. This is what causing the spring bowing toward the rear on passenger side. Looks like they fixed that with this new isolator.

 

[Vtur]

That new passenger isolator looks just like the driver side isolator, but in different color.
