somethings not adjusted right on either of your Jeeps. You can very easily make a coil bow if the control arms are not adjusted correctly.
Buying a new coil, is probley not going to solve your problem.

One thing you could try is to loosen your control arm bolts a little, bounce and shake the jeep , then re-torque. No control arms bent or anything,huh? Were the arms installed with your lift or were you running them before? Do the loosen and bounce and measure eye to eye on the CA's before you rip it apart. All coils seated correctly right? Iknow I said I'd get new coils, but that would only be after I checked everything that could possibly be wrong on my end first.

Appreciate the responses. I guess I just don't understand why the current springs and the OEM springs lie flat on their top, frame mount side, while the Curries do not, and does that issue impact the bowing issue?
Hopefully, someone from Currie can chime in.

I got a FT 3" lift, no scoliosis at all, straight as an arrow. Did you rotate the coils to seat them properly? I noticed when putting mine in, they seemed to seat themselves in a specific orientation when I rotated them.

Thanks, yes we did. They were sitting in the perch in the notched out part.

I noticed that you are using the stock swaybar links from the rear is that correct? if you are using a 4" coil then you ar prolly getting at least 5" of lift
and I would think that link needs to be at least 3" or more longer. and you might have to go with an adjustable LCA to get your geometry back. I had this issue with the RC 4.5 that I put an my XJ and the Links and LCAs fixed the prob. after the alignment
Just an option to look at. IMO

Just an option to look at. IMOI agree that I will need longer swaybar links. You may not have noticed the sig line but I do have adjustable lowers/ uppers.
