JKS Adjustable Rear Coil Spring Pad
Have any of you guys used this to correct your rear coil springs after installing your lift. I installed a Tera Flex 3" w/8 flex arms with F/B monster track bars. The pinion angle is perfect and the tires are centered in the fender well. The track bar is adjusted properly. The pictures will show why I'm trying to correct the rear coil spring angles. (Coils Are Crooked) If anyone has a picture of a JKS Adjustable Rear Coil Spring Pad installed, I'd sure like to see it. Thanks for your time..and Happy New Year.

I don't have any pics handy, but this is exactly what the spring perches are for. My rear springs were bowed just like yours are. Due to the bow, the right rear spring was also making contact with my rear track bar. The adjustable perches allowed me to straighten them up perfectly and created a more proper gap between the right spring and track bar so no more contact. Been running them for a little over a year now without issue.

They are nice!
Longest part of the install was cutting off old perches, grinding axle smooth (dremmel), and painting axle. Took a few adjustments to get them aligned just right. Use an angle finder to get them both at the same angle.
Here are some pics including the new JKS track bar bracket which raises the axle mount up 4" and works perfect with the perches and track bar brace.

I thought my springs looked bowed I wish I would have known about the Rock Krawler wedges before I put the 3/4" spacers in the rear; I would have put the wedges in instead.
