BDS rear springs
So my rear passenger side is 1" lower than the driver side. Does this mean my BDS springs are toast?

Re: BDS rear springs
Just toss a 1" spacer in on the low side and wait until they totally sag out.

Re: BDS rear springs
Are you the original owner of the springs? I believe they have a lifetime warranty.

Re: BDS rear springs
Swap the springs side to side. GM A and G bodies suffer the same thing when drag raced hard. We just swapped coils to make 'em last longer.

If the spring(s) are bad just contact Lou and he'll get you a new set.Little Napoleon wrote:Yup, bought them from Lou
You only need to pay the shipping charge to return the old springs.

Re: BDS rear springs
BDS has a lifetime no questions asked warranty, but Kurt is right they will make you pay the shipping.

Re: BDS rear springs
Just went through this with the BDS leaf springs in my XJ.... Is a fairly pain-free process.

Re: BDS rear springs
Yep, and it's even cheaper shipping back a pair of coils than a pair of leaf packs!

BDS rear springs
Pulled my rear springs yesterday; pass side was shorter than the driver side by at least an inch. Quick trip to Lou's and swapped out the springs. Almost forgot how tall the Jeep sits on new springs.
