How much curve should there be in stock YJ springs?
I suspect my wife's YJ springs are fatigued and causing steering
troubles.

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?

How do you figure there is more leverage? 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?
Anyway, the question I was looking for an answer for, was:

Yes, and they screw up your caster angle too. They are also cheap. When
was the last time you bought anything cheap that was good?

They look almost flat on mine, with about two inches to the bump stop and
one to one-and-a-half inch of bow (guesstimated).
