Default FabTech 5in Coil Spring Lift

I just installed my FabTech 5in lift kit this weekend. Rides and drives awesome, but was curious about the position the front couls are suppose to be. The kit had re alignment pieces that volt onto the bottom coul seats to correct the angle when the axle is droped forward. The coil looks straight up and down but seems to bow outward towards the fender. Like i daid the kits turned out awesome,rides awesome, installed awesome. Nothing feels wrong just looks a little weird bowed out like that.

So are you running stock coils with spacers or new 5 inch coils?

Did you drop the radius arms?

I'm assuming you did.

Yea, the front lift came from lift springs, drop radius arm brackets driver and passenger, track bar drop bracket and a drop pitman arm for the steering.

Coil springs shouldn't bow.

Try posting the question on Cummins Forum or TDR. Lots of good guys who know what they're doing over there.
