New coil lift spring problem !?!
Ok i bought a set of 9" lift coil's for my 78 bronco i also have the 4" drop brackets for the radius arms, 7 degree bushings and all that. My problem is that the passenger side coil will not sit right at all it is bowed out and if you let the axle down it pops out of the plate at the bottom, when you jack it up it hits the coil bucket ?, now the driver side is fine , nothing hits and it stays in it's place ........any one ever heard of a problem like this ??
well any idea's would help since i bought the springs a year ago and now am finally getting them in i don't think they a re gonna take them back so any way i can get this going i will do , thanks

with all that lift, you will need to adjust the track arm( goes from drivers side frame down to the passenger side of axle) if you lift the truck and dont make this arm longer it will pull the truck body way to the right of center over the axle, and maybe make your springs not work. you can get a drop bracket for the arm( you will want this track arm to run parallel with the drag link going from the pitman arm to the center link

i don't even have the track arm hooked up yet , i do have the adjustable track arm and 2" drop bracket for that also but i have not hooked it up yet , the axle is just hanging by the radius arms and i have jacks under the axle , we sqaured it up pretty good it just seems that the one spring is off, the radius arms are cranked down and both show the same amount of threads after the nut. i am kinda screwd here it seems

are you sure the bottom coil bucket is in correctly, and not bent, and are you seating the spring all the way in to the bucket.......other than that, without actually seeing the vehicle, it is sort of difficult to figure out what is happening here
