The more I look at the mounts and perches,it really doesn’t look stock.maybe a one owner rubicon guy will post some pics of his?

well, yes everything has to be change because of the WJ knuckle swap. but not the spring location.
sorry, I didn't mention it but I was to one who did the wj knuckle swap. it is a factory dana 44. just the knuckle, track bar and sway bar was change
This is a screenshot I took to remind myself should I have a potential issue when I install the 4” RJ lift I’ve had sitting on garage floor for a couple years now (can’t go rushing into things 
). I realize this pertains to rear but maybe front also? If that’s not possible in current position maybe swap sides?

Just curious, did you try to rotate the spring around the bump stop (keeping the spring end in the notch)? It doesn't appear to be centered on the perch.
I did try that but Once the jeep weight is on the spring the spring just bow. I'm thinking that, the bow is so bad its throwing / looking off center.
yea your spring is straight. I'm trying to get an exchange from rock jock. hopefully everything go's well.
Are they straight when they are off the Jeep? I’ve been following this a couple days, just haven’t said anything. Trying to figure it out,
No idea what is going on. I suppose it is possible to get matching bad springs since it isn't impossible. The odds of that are very low, even lower that this is the first set, or only set and then to get a pair is just bizarre. Worse, if it was a spring related issue due to being incorrectly wound, the fact that the spring perches are 180 out from each other would point to them bowing different directions, not both outward. So again, no idea or even any idea where to start trying to figure it out.
Yeah, I had the frame on tall stands and let the axle drop to put new springs in. But you can see the spring perches and hardware clearly.
Mrblaine, I'm not sure also. when I called rock jock about this problem, they mention that they recently have a new manufacture that is making their spring .so that might be the case. I'm waiting for their replay back to see if I can get an exchange.
