I just did that, but I really didn't inspect it before the lift. Would some one mind taking a picture of a stock one or a simular kit either the 2 inch or the 4 inch like I was supposed to get?

I don't mean to sound like one of "those" people, but how would I get the correct code? I pulled the tag off the rear coil just now.

I wouldn't, but it is billed as a 4in kit. That's why I was saying don't go off on the shop before you know everything about the kit.

I believe that is what I may have gotten. That is not what I ordered, They said 4 coils total. I'll see what I can do after work tomorrow. This doesn't make me very happy at all.

Yep, that is almost exactly what I have. Receit shows it witht the 4" in front and the 2" in back. That pisses me off, I told them a 4 inch lift they gave me a 4" and a 2".

If you ordered 4 35" tires and they gave you 2 35's and 2 33's that would be same deal. I'm going in after work tomorrow with a group of friends and some family to see what I can make happen with a large group of angry people. I'm going to try to make them replace it out of their pocket. I'm not paying for something they should have done in the first place. this is bull .

Well, If I'm not in jail tomorrow. I'll update with how it goes. Thanks for all of the help thus far.

I tried to edit down post for delicate ears, lol.

Unfortunately, from a legal standpoint, they are in the right. Going in there pissed off isn't going to do anything constructive. You bought and paid for that particular lift. They can say you had the receipt and you got what you paid for. It may be better to see how much the lift with the coils costs and see if they can help you re-install the higher priced lift that you thought you ordered and offset the cost of the new lift and re-install.

I know that you are upset about having a Jeep that is sitting uneven, but you have no claim as far as the shop is concerned. Hope you have the best of luck resolving your issue.

X2 on what armycop is saying. Go in and ask about getting the coils instead of the pucks and do it nice and level headed. That lift is billed as a 4in lift so.....
Try and see what they can work out for you with getting the rear coils. Now if your reciept shows you were supposed to get the 4 coil kit and not the coil/spacer. Still stay level headed till they give you shit. I was level headed for 3mos without my jk, got a brand new shiney T-case outta it. Still have a noise though, dammit! Just not as bad.
