Hotchkis leaf issue, sits like 4x4.

Been on the ground for about 6 weeks now, no noticable drop as of yet. That includes me jumping in the trunk a couple times a week. The spring pic that 72blunblu posted from hotrod look way flatter than mine. I'll try hotchkis again this week. Never did hear back from them.

I agree, the arch on yours doesn't look right.

The Hotchkis springs are advertised as a 1" lowering spring, but the majority of that comes from the front spring hanger. That basically should mean the Hotchkis springs by themselves are "zero arch" springs, just like the stock springs essentially. Which means the picture from the HotRod article should be what they look like, a very similar free arch to the original springs. Or the oval track 414's or AFCO's as they're also zero arch springs, so again I would expect the Hotchkis springs to have a similar arch.

Without the Hotchkis front hanger you should get a ride height that's about the same as stock, assuming you're not changing the front eye location up or down. But your springs have like an extra 1-1/2" of arch.
