Hey y'all,

So i just installed new leaf springs and shackle relocators, and with all the weight on the rear the leaf is bending up. Is this normal? It's just a stock replacement spring from rock auto.

 

My 2000 XJ has shackle lift and looks the same.

 

It is for a stock non HD spring. Should have went with a lifted spring and stock or boomerang shackle instead of stock spring with lifter shackle. My OME 3.5" lifter springs where $22 a piece more then a set of stock springs
