Probably. Since I can't find a brand name on the lift my guess is that its a cheap crap one.

I'm not hijacking the thread since he has resolution pending, but.....

4 weeks ago I put on my TF 2.5" coils with Bilstein 5100s. It was pretty level for the 1st 2 weeks and then one day I looked at my Jeep in the parking lot and...Click image for larger version

I called TF and worked with them over the phone on some adjustments to my discos. In the end they sent me out some spacers and a hat free of charge to correct the sag. I have to say I'm pretty pleased overall with the quality of their lift, although I am a little concerned about putting a bumper and winch on later. Their customer service is awesome!

lifts/coil springs arent really geared towards added weight POST-INSTALL. Yea, some do "tighten up" to lessen some of the added weight, but if you start to add a heavy fullwidth bumper, a winch, grill guard with extra lights, d rings, etc....no matter what, its gonna sag unless you put taller springs or spacers in. so, if you plan on adding more stuff, you are gonna have sagging and either need to add a bigger spacer, or your better solution would be taller springs.
