Two things don't look right but they may have changed things in the 3+ years since I did mine. First, those blue rubber bushings should be flush against the shock. Notice how in their pic you cannot see the step to the smaller diameter, but in yours you still see 1/8" or so.
Second, I don't think you have the right sleeves in there. I'm pretty sure mine were flush with the blue bushing. They certainly are on the lever I now have in the rear. Are your sleeves the same length as the thickness of the blue bushings? If so then you just don't have them seated correctly in the bushing. If not then I think you have the wrong ones in place. But that is the part they may have changed.

Hello All,
I have a quick question regarding the rear bolt on coilover kit. I've already installed my front bolt on coilovers, aside from having to cut away a significant amount of plastic on the passenger side, things went without a hitch. Now, I have moved on to the rear and have run into an issue. The top shock mount has the nuts welded on! and there is no way for me to get the EVO bracket on. Has anyone else run into this issue? What do I do now?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Cozdude,
Thanks for the reply! Do you think its going to be a problem if I hacked off those bolts with a sawsall?::doh:
I assume it won't be a problem since they are going to be bolted on anyway. I have a 2012 JKU and there was not a body mount in the location where this bracket is placed. Are there screws and bolts for this area also?
Alright,
I have moved onto the rear coilover install. I have question about the upper King mounts. The instructions says to put a 1/2" washer in between the coilover eyelet mount and metal bracket to keep the coilover from rotating. Then replace the bolt with the head cap screw.
My coilovers have a inner sleeve and then a rubber bushing and the metal mounts are pretty tight. I unable to place a washer in between the eyelet and metal mount as the picture shows. There is just not enough room between the two, I can't even get one washer in there at this point.
My coilovers and the bushing and inner sleeve. You can see it has metal lip past the rubber bushing, is this new to allow the use of no washer?
With metal mount, very tight fit.
Bracket and washer just to show, there is no way I can squeeze one on both sides of the eyelet as the instructions says... lol
I might can get a larger washer that has larger inner diameter opening to get past the inner sleeve of the eyelet and help push the rubber bushing in tight to the eyelet. Or I can just open up the inner diameter of the washer to allow it to pass the inner metal eyelet sleeve. As is sit now the rubber bushing is loose and will not stay flush in the eyelet of the shock.
My looks more like this, not my picture. I don't see any washer in between the coilover eyelet. You can also see the rubber bushing has dislodged and is loose on the inside and just up against the metal bracket.
So quick question. I skimmed over this thread but didn't see anything mentioned. Before I go ahead and modify this bracket. Has anyone heard of having to modify the lower shock bracket to work with a Dynatrac axle? Looks like I'll have to notch the bracket so that it will line up with the shock hole.

Can someone please post up a picture of how the lower axle bracket bolts up for the front lower coilover mounts? The picture in the instructions is too dark and I can’t see how it should bolt in. I have a Dana 30 so I will need the bracket. Thanks for the help!
