Default re 3,5sf help

hi guys
it is about a month after i installed re 3.5 super flex.
front driver side has saged. i measured the difrence from centre of the cups to botom of the flares. FR 21 and FL 22.5
is there a difrence between the left and right springs?
i didn't notice any difrence between the two.
after the install the car looked level.
i know easy fix is to install some coil spacers.

what i'm asking is wheather is this normal? or have i done anything wrong installing them?
thanks steve

With my 40mm lift, the front coils were marked L and R......the right side one was slightly longer than the left side one.....and of course I didn't notice until I had the right one in and was about to fit the left one.....lol.

mine did the same, but maybe not quite as much as 1.5 inches but it is noticable, didnt bother with coil spacers though... hasnt sagged anymore in the last year or so...id give it a while to let the other springs settle in and sag a bit before you go adding spacers..

i also have the same lift 5teve but as yet, no issues with heights. Had the lift for approx 6mnths. One lil prob i do have is rubbing on the top of the swaybar disconnects (even comin out of a driveway with slight incline & after steering stop adjustment). This was prob cos ive changed tyre size.

Very common on the XJ as there is a slight design fault with the right hand drive model of cherokee. Do as xjrob has done. I had to do this also on mine.
