Hey guys I have a 2000 wrangler pushing a 4 inch lift which includes 2 inch spacers. I just bought some of these and installed them. Is it normal for them to be a little slanted like this? Or did I gets sold the wrong size?
Running 2" spacers with lifted springs is no bueno. If you stated a 4" lift that include the 2" spacers, it looks like your springs have experienced coil bind. Rid of the spacers and get the right lifted springs and if needed for additional lift, add a small 1.25" BL.
Explain to me how a coil will become more or less compressed based on if it has a spacer or not.
Because I am pretty sure (ASE certified tech here) that coils only compress from weight\force being applied. So unless he kept his swaybar links the same length, or the shocks don't have enough travel, there is no way spacers compress coils.
Besides how would a 2in spacer equal exactly a 2in increase in lift if they were causing spring compression?
There is absolutely nothing wrong with spacers(up to a certain height) on any springs as long as you have the correct bumpstop and shock combo with it

It will allow the coil to compress more before hitting the bump stop if it has a spacer on top. This can lead to coil bind. Normal driving, he wouldn't compress any more because it is only due to force. On a flex, many of us flex until we hit our bump stops which are meant to prevent coil bind but the spacer allows coil bind to take place
yeah, I will probably look into a new lift in general anyways, maybe a little higher. Any recommendations?
Also The mounting brackets for the quick link disconnects ended up getting crazy bent up when i took it out and had the disconnects on them. Any idea why this happened? Or what i can do now instead to hold them out of the way while they are disconnected?
I am not an expert, but that is what I am getting from they're posts. Did you install the spring spacers or was it that way when you got it? IMO, I would try and find a good spring lift without the spacers.
Yes, everything lift and suspension was as is when I bought it. I can post pics. I'm not sure on really any of it. So I am open to reccomendations. Also what size lift can I get to with 32's without looking rodiculous?
Ok hmm I would like to go a little bigger if possible. This is my set up. I am open to ideas. What does the process look like for ditching an old lift and getting a new one? And brands or reccomendations?
