Default spring situation

so I installed my trailmaster 3" BB lift last week. I noticed that the front sway bar link is extremely close to the driver's side spring. Also, the spring doesn't seem to be settling right and looks like it is buckling some... the spring was (to the best of my knowledge since I did the work on it) installed correctly. Could anyone throw me some suggestions on what is causing this? Here is a picture for clarification... maybe taking the spring isolator out would help?


Thanks in advance for any replies!

The only real way to fix the problem is with adj control arms.
Not trying to be a smart a$$, that 3" spacer just doesn't look safe or offroad worthy!
I would save up for some springs if I was you or better yet buy some off the Jk-forum. You can always find good deals on here.

They also have cam bolts you can use on your lower control arms that will correct the problem also (a cheaper fix). I forgot about cam bolts.
I'm not sure who has them though.
