is it bad if your spring comes out like that? or will it just go back in once you back up?

Your Jeep looks good! Love the "eyebrows" too. Might have to steal that idea...you need a front skid-plate and some teeth to go along with them.

ive been looking at those. my shackle angle is actually decent.
Im going to remove the third leaf from the pack, and go to a longer shackle. I think thats all I need. these are too stiff and the shackle is too short to let the spring cycle how it should.
should make it ride better too
