Can someone that has this axle look at the spring perches for me? I want to know if the driver's side spring "pigtale" is clocked the same way as the passenger side. Long story short- after installing my new TF 4" springs my jeep is leaning to one side in the front. Measuring from the tires to each fender there is about a 3/4" difference. I checked to see if I "clocked" the springs correctly and put the "pigtale" into its seat correctly and everything looks good. However, the perches do not match each other. Passenger side perch clocks the coil spring pigtale to what I'm calling 1 o'clock (basically pointing the pigtale to the passenger side marker light or tire) and the driver's side clocks the pigtale to the 6 o'clock position (pointing the pigtale to the driver's side door). So, can someone check theirs to see if their's is the same or not. Also- I have the axle pretty much dead centered too (with my adjustable track bar) so I know it's not that. Thanks.

the indexing on the coil perch is supposed to be opposite each other and what you are seeing is correct. if you are seeing a slight bowing of your driver side coil toward the sway bar arm and your passenger side coil toward the back so that the inside of the coil is sitting close to the bump stop tower, this is totally normal.

As WOL has said, your layout sounds normal. I'll be happy to confirm if you'd like to send me a picture.

is it safe to assume you are leaning toward the passenger side?
