Evo gussets, is there something wrong with mine?

[bl17z90]

So here is the picture. You can see the spring would be resting on the top gusset if you jacked the vehicle up and then lowered it onto the welded gusset. Am i missing something here?

It can happen, depends on the coils. Is the could seated properly?

I'm pretty sure mine looks like this also. What would you advise that we do as far as install?

 

[DA RUNT]

Ya mine is touching, Been on there over 15k miles with 0 issues.

 

[aaronstephen]

I had the same issue. I trimmed a bit on the bottom edge to get them to seat properly.

Since then I have used synergy's c gussetts on my new JK and they fit better. I was told by others, they had a better experience with Synergy's fitting.

Mine also touch as do two other forum member friends rigs. Don't stress over it.

What he said. My coil rests on the gusset as well (EVO Plush Ride). Don't sweat it. When I test for my gussets as you did in this photo I was a bit concerned as well. Don't be, once they are welded into place the coil still seats just fine.

yea.. mine are still sitting in the box because of the same issue, guess i'll take a shot at trimming them or order the synergy, I'll need to evaluate the time invested in trimming.

I assume it isbetter to have the spring sitting on the gusset rather than the gusset on the spring right?

yes of course cause then you know your C is stronger cause the gusset is welded in properly. as everyone said above it isnt a big issue if the spring is touching

Why would you trim them? I'll fetch a photo of how they sit.

 

[10frank9]

Here you go: once they are seated and welded in place the coils do sit slightly on the gusset but not to any degree that cutting or modding would be required.

Same happened to mine just grind away about an 1/8 of an inch and u will be fine


I don't always wheel , but when I do I keep it tight......... Stay dirty my friends.

 

[paychex.308]

I am willing to bet that with a few taps with a BFH, that those will seat quite nice. I would try to work the gusset under the coil before I started trimming. Maybe take some of the pressure off of the coil and "slide it in"? Just a thought... BTW, my coils also "touch" the gussets...

 

[bl17z90]

Can someone show me pics of where each weld goes?

 

[Rebel JK]

Maybe I went to a lot more trouble than I needed to, but I removed my upper shock nut and sway link and dropped the axle to where I got the spring to loosen up enough to get mine in with a little wiggle and no hammer.

I have synergy on mine and it's exactly the same thing. My coils are sitting on the gusset. No worries.

Easy solution.....coilovers!
