I finally got the MOOG rear springs installed today and the rear wheel well arch height is 27-3/8". So there is only 3/16" difference from back to front
I second that. I'm about to have the Tiguan spring/towing spring set installed on my 2010 wagon (which the young and inexperienced service advisor at my dealership of choice strongly advised against). Post installation, I'd like to be confident that an alignment performed by a competent mechanic will be all that's required.I'd like to see a lifted only alignment spec sheet and issues thread.
I put the Suplex Sportwagen rear towing springs on my Tiguan and it raised the rear about 2 inches. The place I always get my alignments had no issues except for the caster was slightly out (I'm guessing due to the increased rake). The wagon suspension is very similar to the Tiguan, so I can't see any other issues you would have. You will certainly have increased ride height when you are done. I replaced the struts, shocks and several other suspension bushings at the same time. I would suggest you check everything for wear, but other than that you should be fine.I'm about to have the Tiguan spring/towing spring set installed on my 2010 wagon (which the young and inexperienced service advisor at my dealership of choice strongly advised against).

Just to give you guys a feedback. Done a couple thousand miles with this mod, all kinds of cornering, nothing unsafe about it. Running them with koni yellow sport and eibach pro kit.Hi
do you guys find anything unsafe on doing this? If so, why? I know that powerflex has a -10mm mounts to lower the car that uses the same method as this.
Post #485 mentions the caster being out after the lift. Okay, but I would think there would be too much positive camber. I say that because when my rear springs died, I had enough negative camber to destroy my tires on the inside edge.
So are you running these on yours?You can use jeep springs to get to 3"
Jk fronts up front
Xj fronts in the rear
I remember seeing most people using suplex fronts still needed to stack two 10mm spacers to get level with the rear towing springs.
So are you running these on yours?
cant find any other information about these...
trying to confirm before i purchase
What i did come up with is:
Jeep JK- 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler 2 door
Jeep XJ- 1983-2001 Jeep Cherokee
Part numbers:
JK Front(for VW Fronts)- 52126314AC - $150
XJ Front(for VW Rear) - 52001122 - $96
Summit Auto for both, and free shipping looks to be the cheapest I think
HI,To the OP and anyone altering their ride height to any appreciable degree.
The rear axle is supposed to bolted to its attachment points such that at a level ride height NO preload is imposed on the axle bushings.
IF you are raising (or lowering) the ride height it may be worth considering loosening the axle bolts and then retorquing them with the car sitting level, .5 tank of fuel. VW directs one to do this when replacing the bushings as well, so makes sense to check/change as needed when raising lowering car. IMHO in the examples shown above if this is not done the wear rate of the axle bushings will be accelerated.
Thanks for the reply ... I'll be sure to do it ... I want to make things last as long as possible.If your raising the front end ride height it will affect the rear bushings, can’t avoid basic geometry. However its not likely to make the rear bushings fail nearly as quick as if the rear was raised.
BUT if your lifting the front end you should back the bolt off on the front LCA bushing and retighten when the car is at normal ride height.
