spring keeps bowing. need help!!
A couple of weeks ago I noticed that my jeep was leaning to the passenger side, i took it to a jeep 4x4 place and they replaced the springs with new ones, they think i have a 3 inch bds kit on it, when they replaced the springs it appeared to fix the problem but when I got home after 150 mile drive i noticed it was leaning again and the right rear spring is severly bowed. here is a pic, im really confused of what is causing this.
This is probably being caused by your control arms to the axle being too short. The arms are too short for the height lift you have with those springs. This can be fixed but replacing stock arms with upper and lower adjustable and a longer drive shaft if needed. There is some very knowledgable people on here and I'm sure they can help you if this does not. May want to look at the position of the rear axle and Maby of both springs are bowed. Kind of confusing of only 1 spring Is bowed severely.

That's odd to see the fronts bow like that. I'm wondering if your upper perches are damaged or warped somehow and causing the coil to angle like that. Maybe put the jeep up on jack stands and remove the springs to inspect the upper perches? The isolator may be sliding off making the coil move off-center and causing the bow.
edit: Just realized these are your rears correct? Those coils look like front coils. Rears are wider to my knowledge.

On another look at your second pic, it's hard to tell, but it looks like your missing your bump stop? That would keep your coil from bending like that. Is it missing or am I not seeing the pic right?
edit: I thought this was your front. Rears don't have bumpstops at the tops. As mentioned, correction wedges should fix this issue.
