If your lift retains the upoer isolator the fix may be as simple as rotating that. The first time i stuck a lift on the jt i had to re disassemble the front end to adjust them. But it made both springs straight again.
It’s weird, the passenger side is fine! The drivers side is the on with the issue? 4x4 shop said they will install the MC lower isolator’s no charge, when they get them in. Should’ve been done that way in the forest place!!! I will see if that corrects the problem. 3 mechanic’s at work said “yeah don’t look right, take it back”. One of the 3 is a Jeep Freak!! He said it’s common to have a slight bow but should be the same on both sides. He said, spring not gonna pop out or anything but he too says it needs looked at again only this time, a closer look.

I installed a new true dual rate 3.5" metal cloak lift and did the isolators and have no bowing.

The isolators (lower) are 100% the issue.

The isolators are thicker depending on the model and size. Typically the drivers side is the thicker one. The softer but taller springs are more suseptible to bowing or bending due to length. If they are sitting on something that doesnt support them the bow is exaggerated.
