I forgot to mention in the original post that the sway bars were disconnected and i lifted the axle up with a jack from the passenger side to show what i was dealing with.
Update:
I took some pictures with the swaybar connected and on pretty much level ground.
I contacted the dealer that sold me the kit and they are sending me a new pad and spring as it could possibly be defective.
I also double checked the top isolater and the nubs on top seemed to be line up in their holes properly.
Any Opinions??

Definitely noticed something going on with the lower pad, but i cant tell if the pad or the trackback is causing the issue

will this help it from causing the spring to bow inwards?
No, it will not help. I have the same problem and was told the same thing. Bought them and no difference.

As you noticed, one of those lower spring pads is either defective or not installed correctly.

Did you need to replace the spring as well, or did just the Rock Crawler pad fix it? If a new spring is needed, does it need to be a mopar, or could it be a heavier OME spring to adjust for a winch?

As soon as i noticed this i called the dealer that sold me the kit and they replaced the spring and pad. The pad did come defective. The issue was the pad but i had them replace the spring too. No issues since

Yes the lower spring pad was the issue. Got it replaced with newer updated version and solved the issues
