Spring bow
ok, so I installed some OME 4" Hd springs about a month ago. They seem to be bowing a little. Is this normal. I just noticed this today since I jerked my front bumper off.

after a second look, it seems as though my springs are seated a little off center, but they still seem to be seated correctly.
On both sides the spring is sitting in the groove that the spring is suppose to sit in, but it is almost resting right against the bump stop.

Hey can you post some pics of your rig? specifically the bowing and how the coils are seated.
That will probably help diagnose the issue.
Off the top of my head, apart from the coil not being seated, your axle may have shifted or you may have too short of sway bar links in the front.
There are some threads on this. Here's one on OME specifically to get you started - OME Spring Bow
Sorry could not resist. Hijack over
