should new coil spring be straight?
Before I get a swath of smart-@ss answers (because I would probably give one too), I want to explain.
I installed rusty's adj lca's and set them to 16-5/8 iaw this chart for a 5" lift:

Looking at my springs they are slightly curved towards the rear. Should this be a concern or should I adjust the lca so they "stand up straight"?
Thanks!

Go find yourself an angle finder. Set the angle finder on top of the top ball joint. Set the castor to 6 degrees and roll with it.
