Default Full Traction 3" lift problem

Anyone have any suggestions on what I should do about a front coil spring that is bent backwards and rubbing the bump stop?

Yeah they asked me to email them pictures.
So I did, waited a couple weeks for a reply, then called them again and they asked me to send them the email again, so I did and I still haven't heard back from them. If anyone has some of these coils sitting around I would be glad to take one off their hands.

Your axle may not be centered; the arms may need pulled out and/or pushed in.

Its just the one side. I know everything is centered so I know it's just that one coil spring.

Question- did you loosen all of your control arms in the air(suspension hanging) and then re-tighten them on the ground after everything was installed? I ran into this with my right front coil spring because I forgot to loosen up the right front upper arm!
