How much spring bow is normal ?

[wanderer]

Just got the metal cloak game changer 3.0 on my jtr. Yesterday. Noticed some spring bowing. Should the springs be arrow straight or is some bowing ordinary.
love to hear from anyone with metal cloak lift

Looks to me like your spring is not seated correctly in lower perch pad.

With the design of those springs, there will be some bow.
If you had flat cut/ground springs there wouldn't be a bow.

I dont know much about that lift but Id actually say the upper spring isolator is not oriented appropriately.

The spring looks close to correct in the lower isolator, but it needs to be nudged a little closer to that contact point where the sping naturally sat OEM.

the upper spring isolator is angled, Im not sure which directions it is angled in the factory postition but you could cut the nubs off of it and spin it around to force the spring the opposite way..
are those teraflex springs? not able to see any branding

That looks bad, what does Metal Cloak say?
I had a slight bow and used Daystar correction pads which eliminated it, not sure they could correct that much though.
