Ditto except my rear is only a 58AA as I have a Soft Top (I bought a hard top at the time of sale but my springs were not changed accordingly.)

I've done coil swaps on two jeeps now (one being mine which included swapping shocks as well) and have not had any issues with alignment or recentering steering wheel.
Forum member explained to me yesterday that with a BB or any lift (I believe) your axle will now be off centered by 1/8"-1/4" and as you go "bigger" it gets worse, I.E. Adjustable track bar. Hope this helps...

Does make sense as the axles did move around a lot, any idea (measurements) how to check? Drives fine and does not drift, even when hitting the brakes hard. I did check my toe and that appears fine

Don't quote me, but measure how far each tire sticks out from fender. Measure from center of axle to outer edge of tire. I was looking for the thread I was on yesterday but could not locate it.

I didn't get to measure it as I needed to head to the coast but I'll measure Sunday when I get home. Just by looks alone, somewhere between 1 1/4 to 2". But I also put bumpers and a winch on.

Default Spring part number

How do you determine the part number of your springs?
