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

Sitting on level ground?
Air pressure even on tires?
Unusual load in Jeep on one side?
Links/track bar too loose or tight?

Just toss a 1" spacer in on the low side and wait until they totally sag out.

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

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.
You only need to pay the shipping charge to return the old springs.

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

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

Yep, and it's even cheaper shipping back a pair of coils than a pair of leaf packs!

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.
