I was looking at "James Harmon's" second picture......am I seeing things or is the coil spring actually a couple inches off of the spring seat?

[james harmon]

That is what you are seeing. This is fairly common with big articulation. Usually you are going at a slow speed when this happens, so there is no damage with it banging around. As long as the spring does not come out of the top “perch/bump stop extension” whats the harm????

[MSHarnett]

Yeah I saw that too. I had to do a double take cause at first it looked like you had spacers in there, and them I was oh no, its are off the top. I was watching one of those 4 wheelin videos from out west and the was a guy flexing past the bumpstops and another guy was holding the spring as he was coming back down to make sure it seated properly. How'd you like that job, haha.

[JEEPZZ]
