I don't know if it has lived in any other states but I do know there is no rust anywhere on it.

The spring is very clearly shaped like a rainbow.

As for breaks ... it has too much mud on it right now to see.

Was just under it. Don't see any breaks but I'll have a better opinion once I take it off. Looks to me like that longest leaf is just too weak.

Sorry to hear about your leafs man, That difference in height looks seriously uncomfertable, espically when your driving. On the off-topic side you need more pics of your XJ man lol.

Definitely would rather have a refund. Shipping these back is going to be obnoxious.

Ask for an upgrade to OME hd springs, even if you have to pay a little extra.

Sorry for no updates. I finally got around to calling today and they are having me take pictures so they can warranty them out. Still not sure what that process will be like but I will update when I do.

The sucks man.... I have a pair of the same... ordered about 1 year ago. They aren't sagging. I know that doesn't help you...

I have had good experiences with Quadratec's CS... When I ordered the springs I got a U bolt kit for a D35. Being that I have a C 8.25 it wouldn't work. My mistake, they still corrected it at their expense.

Sounds like Quadratec has gone down hill.....

It does help because they just told me today they will warranty them out but I have to get the same kind again. Good to hear yours are not sagging.
