A couple of different conversations here. With regards to my front passenger spring... the lowers are the same length, the axle is squared/centered, caster is 4.5° , springs are seated appropriately top and bottom -can I assume at this point that a replacement spring is necessary? If so, do both fronts need to be replaced as a set (between 9-10K miles since install)?

Did you call Metalcloak about it or send them pictures? It might just be a faulty spring. I've got about the same amount of miles on my lift with zero problems. The only other thing I could think of is somehow you twisted the axle tube, but the pictures didn't look like that.

I have the same lift, my rear coils looks identical. I did install the RK wedges and are almost perfect. I would say it's the fix for all but "extreme situations. If the coils were to pop out, the wedge would as well. Install coil retainers, and u should be ok. I haven't had any problems

Hi everyone,
I have a JKU with the Gamechanger ARB edition, except with 3" EVO plush coils. A few questions I have:
1. Sector Shaft braces with the Metal Cloak front track bar, what is compatible? Rock Solid performance closed its doors and are no longer selling this item, what are my options?
2. I'm definitely satisfied with my JK's ride, but I do feel the steering is a bit sloppy. In conjunction with bumps in the road, the steering wheel shifts when it hits bumps. By definition that would be bump steer. What needs to be adjusted? Upgraded?
LIke mentioned above, it's a complete game changer lift, all 8 adjustable arms, front & rear MC track bar, OME shocks, on 35's, etc. I'm not afraid to add more upgrades to tighten up the front end, I just want to hear from experience what will make a difference.

Your bump steer is likely cause by the tracbar and draglink not being parallel to each other and the geometry being off. From what I have always heard the EVO coils give more then 3" so you night consider a draglink flip kit as mentioned.
