That's not unusual. Longer, aftermarket springs do that sometimes. I'd make sure it's indexed in the rubber isolators correctly and watch to make sure the spring doesn't rub on anything.

There are a few threads about this, Daystar makes new lower isolators that correct the problem, they are around $30, I just ordered a set yesterday. They are listed for JLs not the JT.

Make ceratin your isolators are properly aligned. The factory isolators are angled. If you get them back in at the wrong angle it will do this. From the pic it looks like the high side of the isolator on bottom is on the inside, causing the whole spring to shift outwards. Check it, and the upper, for proper position.

I just checked on their site and noticed there is two of them. One for mopar lift and the other for aftermarket lift. Not sure what’s the difference??

I have the same kit. Mine looks a little bowed out but not as bad as yours.
