The spring was a sumbitch to turn even with the driver's side jacked up and the axle drooping.

I have done two lifts on 14's and there was a notch in the lower perch to orient the coil same as there was on my 13', the 07', (2) 09's, and a 11' I have had the coils out on.

Yeah, I have to agree again. Just put a GC ARB on a 2014 Rubi X and the perch was the same as my 2013 - had the locating tab. Located at the back side (rearward side).

Thought I'd post a couple pics from the weekend to tease those waiting to install their kit. Last pic took 7 Jeeps to recover the guy from what would have been a near death fall.
