HELP!!!! JIC rear coil install
Trying to get the FLTA2s installed that I picked up from ZOasis.
Not a clue on how to reassemble the rear. We have some guesses, but the ride height is WAY too high. Even with the adjust lowered ALL the way.
I know there are two sets of rear springs, which all the discussions here online look to have something different than what we are putting in. I'm feeling we're installing the stiffer of the two springs, and we can't use the same methods because these springs are not compressing as much as the other JICs.
Any advice would be helpful on how to get this assembled would be appreciated asap!
Thanks

rear install
My adjustable post (double nutted) rests on the rear lower link. I had to drill a hole thru the lower link to insert the bolt to hold the adjustable post in place. This set up allows the weight of the car to compress the spring and I adj the height from there. This is probably not what your having problems with but I wasn't sure from your posting.
Goof luck

Something is SERIOUSLY wrong. I must have different springs.
We ended up pulling BOTH of the adjustment rings out of the piece and reassembling it. That got us right under stock ride height.
Going to call JIC on Monday.

Chris, sorry I wasn't around to receive your question earlier. Did you adjust the shock sleeve height? I can't imagine that Craig would have changed the settings when he uninstalled it. If you want, you can call me tomorrow and we can discuss the installation in person (unless I'm too hungover from my bday )...

Hey guys, I just got back from Nashville. Sorry to hear of the trouble To be honest, I don't know anything about the adjustments of the height on the rear since I didn't personally install or de-install them but I do know it was lowered considerably from the stock height. Something is definitely wrong. Did you take the stock rubber boot out and place the JIC rubber piece in its place? I'm not real sure what could be the problem.
