Default Rock krawler front coils

Can someone post pics of their front RK coils? I am trying to figure out if mine are over compressed at the progressive wraps or if this is normal with aftermarket bumpers and winch.

Taking bumper weight off helps.

If anyone has pics of any progressive rate coils please post as well.

Thanks.

It is most likely fine. I think it's intended to keep the spring in place when the axle is down. Their kits are made with the knowledge that people are going to put on heavy bumpers and winches.

Thanks.
progressive coils are generally tighter at the top.

Looks good to me, I would call rockkrawler and ask, after they designed the coil

I have progressive AEV springs but no winch. Mine look not as compressed but I bet yours are fine I do have RK arms and other stuff!

FWIW

Coils will not look the same from one vendor to another.

They are designed different, for different spring rates and function.

Ya different material gives different spring rates on top of more coils are generally used for a softer ride.

Thanks everyone. I thought they were fine but a few guys told me they looked wrong. My jeep sits level so if they weren't compressed, I'd have reverse rake which would look funny!
