Default VBandP REAR GLASS SPRING PICS NEEDED????

My rear spring looks like it is in a bind or something. It has a big curve in it to the point that it doesnt look normal. Also it is set as low as it will go. Does anybody have any pics that i can see of your spring? :confused: :skep:

Your spring should not have that much arch in it. send it back. Especially if the ends hand below the wheels. If you get a blow out, the bolts will dig into the ground and tear the whole thing apart. I can't believe they are selling springs like this, it might not happen often or ever, but if it does, I'll bet they are liable.

My spring is the dual mount setup. I forgot that there were two styles.
