I'm running RK pads on the Mopar lift and they are straight. I'd look at the seating both top and bottom, first. Adjustable control arms seems like a band-aid to me, unless the Mopar lift control arms were not installed for some reason. There could be a little bow, but something isn't set right there. If that spring is turned even slightly off where it should be, you could get that.

So in summary, I'd check to be sure the control arms that came with the lift were both installed and then look at the spring positioning, both upper and lower.
Will you see if those rubber nipples are coming through the holes on top of the springs on both driver and passenger side? They are only coming through on the passenger side on mine which is the bowed side

The rubber tabs are through the hole on the passenger side (bowed side). What’s odd is they are not through the holes on the drivers side and that spring is straight.

Can you get a measurement......from top of axle to bottom lip of coil housing like this.... I think that if you click the drivers side isolator correctly then both springs will be the same and you need to increase your caster with adjustable arms not with the brackets. Stock Rubi is 11-1/4 to 11-3/8 “ in that spot, this will tell your how much lift you got.

I’m at 14.5 on each side. Looks like 3.25 inches of lift

Yeah, that’s more lift than those fixed arms can handle even with the bracket they’re pretty much useless at this point.

Ok well sounds like adjustable control arms it is. Thank you for the help

I'll check them when I get a chance. I'm pretty sure they are coming through, but I'll verify.
