    Hello!

    Just finished lifting my 2007 limited with Icon springs in the rear and now my rear left wheel is a little too far back, almost touching the mud flap. My right rear wheel is centered in the well so I assume my axle is not perpendicular with the frame and that doesn't sound good to me!

    I'm not familiar with any adjustment in the rear that could correct that easily so I suspect that it's coming from the adapter I used to hold the bottom of the spring. Maybe I installed it a little too far towards the front of the axle, therefore pushing the axle backwards when the spring is compressed. Does that make sense?

    Any idea or recommendation?

    Thanks!
    JD

    Check your lower links and mounts. They do bend pretty easily when off roading.

    The links locate your axle in the middle of the wheel well. Your panhard bar is responsible for keeping your axle centered from side to side.
    Pretty old school setup and very simple.

    Edit: Forgot to ask if you have still have stock links. Some links are offset so installation error could be a cause as well.
