Ditto... I installed my rear springs backwards thinking they were centered evenly... nope...

Had already had the rear driveshaft re-built too... couldn't figure out why my rear driveshaft was 2" off where it was before my OME springs...

Just gotta learn the hard way sometimes...

How so?
After I installed my OME springs, the rear end sits about an inch towards the drivers side, and it was fine before.

Mine was sitting 2" forward, not off center side to side.

The spring centering bolt is not centered (From spring eye to that bolt that holds all the springs together is offset by 1" if I remember correctly...) so if you have one spring backwards there would be a 2" differance in placement of spring which would make the diff sit crooked for sure.

Not sure how you got off center side to side... Did you replace (weld on new) spring perches? Possibly got them off? Otherwise the new spring hangers and old axel spring perches should be locating it correctly, or at least how it was...

Anything else change?

May want to start a new thread too so we don't highjack this one much further...

2" that's a lot. If it were me:

Lift the jeeps rear end off the ground and secure it in place.

After making sure the springs center or stack bolts are set properly in their indexing hole in the are set properly. be sure both springs are in the same orientation. Loosen everything up -spring u-bolts, shackles. Give it a darned good shake to settle everything evenly in place. Tighten everything up a step at a time until everything is tight. This is to make sure the suspension is sitting as neutrally or as stress free as is possible.
