    Looks like the wrong spring. (too long)
    Why is there a bow in it?
    Bowed right.
    Got too much spring or not enough shock?

    I have that same truck without the lift.

    How in the heck did you get that spring in there.

    Even without a load on it, it looks like it wants to bust out....


    I guess its a good thing I kept my old lower arms......just in case I break that piece...


    FYI this is first I've seen or heard about..........

    No1 is lbj fail......and close 2nd, those bolts holding lbj fail/sheer...
