That’s quite a bit of bow. I have had to use the correction pads on one side and not the other at times. My current jeep with MC lift i am using correction pad only on passenger side. Factory pad on driver. Might try switching to factory pad.

The spring may not be seated correctly in the top pad, shine a flashlight and see if you can tell if the tip of the spring coil is sitting in and close to the indent in the pad.

It looks like you have an outward spring bow. First thing I would do is make sure your springs are sitting correctly in the lower and upper spring pads. You already have the lower bow correction pads so it’s most likely a combination of the springs not sitting correctly in the pads and the axle not being properly centered. After you confirm the springs are properly seated you need to make sure the front axle is centered. Take a measurement from the inside tire and frame. Do the same measurements on both sides in the same location. I am assuming from your picture that you will need to center the axle. You can remove the front lower track bar bolt and loosen the lock nut securing the front bushing. Use a rachet strap to move the vehicles frame left or right and repeat the measurement until they are equal. Then adjust the track bar bushing in or out until it fits properly in the new location. Replace the bolt and re-torque both the track bar bolt and lock nut securing the bushing. That should help.

If they are seated in properly, then you need adjustable track bars to center your axles.
