I installed these 1.5" spacers to cure front end sag but they seem to me like they are sitting weird.



and the other side:


Do these look ok?

try jacking up the front end until the coil is loose and see if you can center the coil a little better. What coil spacers are those.

I bet your coils are not seated in the buckets at the axle.

If I remember correctly, they have to be twisted to the right position.

Most coil spacers that I have seen have a flat spot on them that should point towards the tire. Thats how my Teraflex spacers are and the RE spacers on my old TJ were like that as well. It helps give you a little extra clearance when the tire is stuffed.

They look a little Off.
What do you do with your XJ?
If you OffRoad, most certainly you will Drop an End and the Coil will come just a little Unattached at times anyways. IMHO

You might try Dropping an End by Driving on to something Tall enough with the other Tire and stopping high enough for the Coil to Drop and then Twist your Coil into Proper Position.

Just a thought.

I was looking at them again.

The Top Photo, the Spring looks as if it may be Sagging a little to one Side. If so, you know what to do. You have 3,072 Posts to your name.

The Bottom Photo looks fine to me.

If they are sagging... It's time to invest in New Springs any how. They have become too Weak to use any more. IMHO

Maybe the spacers are in upside down.

Yeah, the ones Ive seen have a lip that holds the coil same as the stock retainer.

Those look like theyre just flat? odd.

I have some 1.75" spacer and mine continuously sit like that. I have knocked em back in the lip but they continue to unseat themselves, oh well.

Rough country(they have a lip just cant be seen in the pic.)
Coils are seated.
Flat part needs to be out...I'll fix that.
I have 3074 post so I should be an expert on how spacers should look.
