Default Quick Question!

ok so after I had my rubicon express lift installed I got underneath to inspect the work. I ended up staying underneath my Jeep for some time transfixed because of how cool it looks. Anyways I noticed that my rear coil springs both have a slight bow to them. Is this normal settling or are they simply bowed in general?

If your lift came with shorter rear lower control arms to help correct the pinion/drive shaft angle, this will cause the springs to bow, it's no problem. With my 3.25 inch lift and shorter rear lower control arms my springs bow too.

A little bowing is normal. You can install correction wedges to help.
