Z71 rear cool swap lift

[TWITCH101]

So I bought some z71 coil springs off eBay to lift my rear suspension a little bit and give me a little stiffer ride. Got them installed and now they rub the frame rail on the passenger rear side. Anyone ever have this issue?

leaf springs in back.

missing a bushing?

Never heard of this issue before. Seated properly?

 

[TWITCH101]

No leaf springs in the rear. Idk if I was sold the wrong springs or what. I sprayed some wd-40 on the spot where they rub and it is a lot quieter now. It was making a ton of noise before. They seem to be seated properly.

Sounds to me like your axle isn't centered under the body... Measure and check

 

[TWITCH101]

What is there to measure? I really don't know how to measure to see if the axle is straight.

 

[YukonXL04]

Measure if your tire is the same distance from the fender on both sides

 

[TWITCH101]

So I crawled under the yukonand took a look and it seems like the springs themselves have shifted. It looks like the rubber spacers that meet the spring on the body are moved or not sitting flush. Any ideas?
