Ryan, @gungriffin, broke one of his rear coil springs today imagine that! Putting out the call for anyone that may be on their way to Moab or GJ that has a 100 series rear coil spring. OEM or aftermarket it doesn't really matter. Thanks in advance!

I was just coming over to coming to post this. A huge thank you for everyone who helped me get this fixed! Only mismatched by about 1.5" in height driver to passenger. It will be interesting to see if it settles at all. This was also a much better than our plan B of using some u bolts to join the 2 coil spring halves together.

Never saw that before?
The mechanic at Navitec knew exactly what happened. Apparently a bump stop extension from Slee was the only way he had found to reduce the instance of coils breaking from over compression on their 80s.The mechanic actually had a broken coil he pulled from his parts pile.
