Re: How much curve should there be in stock YJ springs?
I think you've just learned the lesson to never use longer shackles
as a cheap lift, they place too much leverage on the spring and quickly de arc them. If left on there long enough the will break the spring cause you to loose control, crash, burn, and die. Did I make the sale for new springs?

The weight pressing down on the front of the spring has not changed. Perhaps in that they are allowed to flex more before contacting the bump stop?
