My rear 2.5 RK coils were bowed to the point I was lower in the rear than the front. I added correction wedges and they are closer to straight and I am now even front and rear. Any additional length added to the lower control arms would bow the coils worse.

I've read quite a few people saying their rear is lower yet mine is the opposite. The front is a good inch lower.

It could be the weight of a steel bumper, carrier and 35 hanging off the back. There are also differences in older vs newer RK coils and differences based on 2 dr vs 4 dr coils.

Sounds like RK may need to do some adjustments on their rear coils. Seems like everyone is having this issue

I have a heavy rear bumper with a 37 on a steel tire carrier and a pretty heavy steel front bumper with a warn winch and steel line. I'm running no backseat. I recently removed the tire on the back and the height stayed the same.

RK has overland kits now with 3.5 coils in the rear.

I didn't think a rear tire carrier fell into the Overland category haha

Lol and on request. jadmt is now running 3.5's in the rear due to sagging.

Fwiw my rear 2.5's are first run. There was a change along the way. If you look at mine and the new coils. Mine stack up on the top whereas the new coils dont. The newer rear coils are softer from what i was told .. Better ride but comes at a expense .. Sagging.
If somebody is not having sagging issues running heavy they prob have the old coils.

You got a picture of yours so that I can try and compare to mine? You are referring to having older style triple rates, correct?

Yes just the rear coils.
