Does anyone have a rear spring from a 2011 500 that has low miles on it? I need to know the free length. Trying to deduce what is causing the RH side of mine to be about 5/8" lower than the LH side.

We've done some measuring & I'm going to try to swap the shock/spring assemblies side to side to see if that makes a difference.

Crank the shock on that side

Both shocks are @ the stiffest preload setting. Tire pressures are equal & garage floor is level.

check to see if you broke a spring

From what I can see they look OK. I did notice (on both sides) that the upper 4 coils are "bound together" w/ no load in the Ranger. Why would a coil spring be designed that way?
