So, i’ve got a gq lwb, front end setup includes: (as of the last 3 days efforts)

-3 inch hyperflex coils (from GU)
-4 inch superior engineering twin tube shocks
-ATI drop boxes
-GU radius arms (exact same as GQ in terms of dimension they just looked better and i had em sitting there
-15mm radius arm spacer

After installing all of this my coils is now making an S bend forward,

is this bad?

Done anything with the sway bars like use extensions and adjust so the bar sits horizontal so it's not pulling the vehicle down.
Are the springs weight ratings suited to the vehicle and any extra gear you may have added. Are the springs on the correct side drivers and passengers. I would expect trailing arms panhard, brake lines etc would need to be replaced to suit if the vehicle has been raised above 2".
Did you measure the vehicle height before and after to see the height difference for a reference so when you check it again in 500km and after a few thousand to see how it all settles in.
Also getting it engineered if the suspension has raised the vehicle more than 50mm to keep it legal.

yeah weight ratings are fine and all the corresponding linkage blah blah has been changed to suit also, no mod plate yet but it doesn’t look too illegal so hopefully get away with that until i get around to plating,

also i have diagnosed the issue, when going 3 inch and keeping the stock radius arms, it is advised to either go drop boxes OR radius arm spacers, unfortunately i did both, so i am going to get those spacers out this weekend and fingers crossed it sorts it
