Is this normal?

Installing new rock sport reds after a 4.5" spring upgrade. The shock seems twisted at the bottom where it goes into the outboard mount. The mounts seemed twisted towards the front the the jeep but they are installed correctly. When the axle was dropped they were way off and I had to jack it up even to get the top shock bolt in. I feel like this puts a lot of stress on that bottom during during any kind of flex. Am I doing something wrong?

one of the things that happens with high lift and lots of droop...how does it look when axle would be at ride height? fully compressed?

I'd ask Metalcloak. That bottom mount is 90 degrees from OEM so you might not get a lot of answers here. You have adjustable lower control arms that can change your caster but you want to be in spec.

I'd loosely install the bolt, jack up the axle to ride height and see if it is still pitched weird.

How much caster do you have now? That could cause it too.

You're making it what it ain't, and your Jeep is just letting you know.
