Does this look right?? One corner done on lift.

LDUB's the man...

Called independent 4X, and they confirmed with him.

Thanks everyone... I didn't feel good about it being on the bottom, but it also felt like it snapped into place better, which is why I posed the question.

Looks like I've got to drop the suspension again so I can flip it around... Blech...

Better now than on the trail when the coil launches out.

THANKS!!!

Verifying that I make the minimum steps possible to flip the coil.

1- Remove the bolt from the rear Link visible in my pic (proper name?)
2- Remove lower shock bolt.
3- Remove Sway Bar Link bolt.
4- Jack up driver's side tire a little to articulate.
5- Flip coil
6- Re-assemble

Is that the correct plan of attack?

If it were me, I would...

Jack up the rear end high enough to provide full droop of the rear suspension.
Set the frame on jack-stands.
Remove the tires.
Remove the lower shock mounts.
(Being able to lift & lower the axle with a floor jack makes getting the lower shock mounts off much easier.)
Apply some downward pressure (Brittany, here's where you help) on the top of the axle & the spring should come out with a little pull.
Reverse process to install.
I've never found it necessary to disassemble the sway bar or any of the other suspension components other than the lower shock mounts.

But I haven't tried to install a 2" spacer without all the disassembly you mentioned earlier.
However, I have done this install with a 1" spacer, & disco'd nothing more than the lower shock mounts.

After I lifted mine and did the ball joint flip using the stock bolts, one failed shortly after. So.... maybe not a bad idea to go and get yourself 6 new bolts to replace the old ones.

Interesting, do you think that one was just weak for some odd reason? Those are some pretty hefty bolts hope you are not having some weird pressure point thing going on.
