Hi Eddie,
My husband and I took your advice replacing JLU Sport axles with Rubicon axles. Now those Dana 44 axles feel much better than Sport stock Dana 30+35 axles. In addition, we increased the lift to 4.5 inches to accommodate BFG KM3 37 inch tires.
We notice the coil springs are slightly bowing. The front ones are bending backwards at the axle (see pictures). The rear ones are bending forward at the axle. I wonder if this issue is caused by the 4.5 inch lift? Can this be resolved by adjusting control arms? I have all 8 adjustable control arms. I need guidance on how much the control arms need to be adjusted to get the geometry correct.
Many thanks!
