I bought some coil spacers for my XJ, but they didn't come with instructions. Does anybody have pics or has put them on there Renix Jeeps before.

When I did my spacers I had to drop the trac bar, sway bar and lower control arms and use coil compressors to get them in. Good luck.

Well I put them on and driver side is fine. And the passenger side coil rubs on the front sway bar. Guess the spring is weak and needs replacing. Only rubs when on a really bumpy ride. Other than that looks good

you need to relocate the trac bar over when ever you lift a coil spring front axle the trac bar pulle the axle over to the drivers side end result pass side coil gets closer to sway bar
