Default Rough country 2 month old leaf spring bent

Put on a 4.5" rough country x series lift kit about month and a half ago. Noticed I was riding about a half inch low on the right side. Took a look down there and the leaf looks oddly warped? Haven't really wheeled it that hard at all. I tried taking a pic of it but it's kind of hard to see. What would cause this? Will rough country send a replacement you think? I'll try attaching pic

It's the quality of there leafs is the problem and where there made...But I think if you have a receipt they "MAY" help you out.

Yea I was aware of people's views on rc quality when buying the lift. I was also aware or at least had heard they stand by there product and will follow through on warranties. I'll call tomorrow and find out. If they replace I'll be happy. If not I guess I'll be a few hundred bucks out and buying leafs elswhere.

I've never had an issue with waranty through them. They ask for a receipt now, but I have mine. Still help me out. I've leafs replaced by them and the bushings in the leafs. FYI, they send poly replacements when the rubber ones wear out.

They seem to be pretty helpful with their leafs since they know the bushings and springs are garbage, good thing you didn't have a faulty brake line.

Talked to them today and they are sending out a new pack. Again people can question the quality you get what you pay for... but ive heard mostly good things regarding their warranty. just have to deal with putting leafs in again now blah. At least the bolts wont be rusted to hell this time!

Just think you'll get to do it all over again in 2 1/2 months.
