Default Spring perches look like they are tilting back on moser??

I just finished for the night working on the 12 bolt and it looks like the spring perches are angled back a little. Everything is snugged on, I dont have anything torqued down yet, and the sway bar is still off. Once I bring everything back tight and put the sway bar back on will it bring the perches forward a little.

The spring isnt about to fall off it just looks like it could be a little straighter...

mine are like that too, and my lower shock bolts are angled the opposite way pretty bad.. I also took the spring spacers off the top since I had stock springs and it really had the 4wd look after the moser.

Ok cool, I was afraid I got a shotty rear or just screwed something up on the install.

Kp after you removed the top spring perches isnt the car uneven from front to back?

I cant speak for him, but on my car the rear sat a tad higher with the moser (though I have a 9 inch) I suspect he had the same problem, its fairly common. taking the isolators out actualy levels the car front to back.

The back was higher then the front after the moser, taking the isolators out evened it out. Make sure and get some 5/8 heater hose and slide it around the top coil of the spring. Your car may be different so see what it looks like after the rear is in it.
