Correction wedge installed correctly? Coil bend?
2007 JK with TF 2.5 coils and an additional spacer. Need to use the correction wedge to attempt to straighten out the rear coil spring. ASSUMING the wedge is installed correctly (wide part to rear, but top side correct?) does this coil still have too much bend? Ball park guess is the rear of the jeep is losing 1/2" to 3/4" of lift due to spring bending too much.
Thoughts?

Something is not right for 2.5" of lift. Do you rear adjustable control arms? Your pinion has got to angled way to high! I have 4" of lift with coil spring wedges and not a bowed as yours. I will be removing mine and relocating perches soon.

How large is the spacer you added on to of the coils. It looks to be at least 1in, but difficult to tell from pictures. If it is 1in or larger, you will likely be needing adjustable control arms to straighten it all back out.

You have some issues going on there. Looks like you have aftermarket lower arms, are they adjusted right? That drop bracket on the rear track bar is a poor way to adjust the rear. Are you running factory shocks? Extensions?
What is your actual lift height? I doubt you are losing lift height due to coil bend. Its best to step back and take a good look at your overall set up and go from there fixing things and wedges are a poor way to fix coil bowing.

The JKS relocating perches are starting to intrigue me.

1 inch spacer. I have rear adj upper control arms. I am afraid if I rotate axle back into position where perches are parallel with ground the angle on pinion will be too far out of whack the other way. Ugh...

I have factory Rubi shocks with extended shock mounts.
Actual lift height I am measuring at curve in fender flare. Measures at 39 1/4 right rear fender and 38 3/4 left rear fender from ground through center of wheel up. 2.5" TF coil combined with 1 inch TF spacer on top of correction wedge.
