Default 2 door passenger sag

So my 2 door has about a 1/2" sag in the rear pass side. Not a big deal but people notice it and it really drives me nuts!

I have a 3" TF lift with 3/4 spacers. Have replaced the rear coils already.

Suggestions? Was thinking a little more spacer on the pass rear?

Yeah I've seen numerous posts on the lean. Fuel tank loaded up doesn't help much from what I've seen.

Compare the sag to when the tank is emplty and then to a full tank.

Not much difference... Full or empty. I've seen a lot of posts on this too. But I can't admit defeat!

On my 09 it had a little sag, and to correct it I used rk spring correction wedges. I noticed that the passenger side spring had a bow in it and would contact the trackbar when it would flex, the wedges once placed on the bottom alleviated the problem. I got them for 19.99 at four wd. Hope this helps.

Do the coils have a bow in them when loaded and on flat surface?

No bow at any time

There are a couple ways to address this.

1. Use a coil spacer on top of the rear coil on the passenger side. You should measure the front as well, to see if you need a spacer on the front coil as well. I have successfully used the Teraflex coil spacer for the rear, and one of their spacers for the front.

2. Some have had success by lengthening the sway bar end links on the passenger side, front and rear. This assumes you have adjustable sway bar end links...

Good luck with your build.
