Need to see the photo furthur back, I'm having a hard time seeing which is which. If the jeep is stock you'll have a stationary attachment on the frame towards the middle of the jeep, and shackles close at the front bumper and rear bumper. The photo on the left is an inverted shackle and as can be seen it ruins the spring. They should point down at a slight angle. I'm wondering if you have a shackle coversion which puts the front shackle towards the middle of the jeep rather than the front. Sorry, I just can't picture what I'm seeing.
I see LF on the tire on the other side that means this is a reversed shackle set up and your spring is bent, but it may not be done right to start with.
We all determined in an earlier post by hick24 that he has a shackle reversal and he has ordered a new set of springs to match the damaged ones.
hick24, Please let us know how you make out once you have the replacement springs in place. Phots of the job all done will help.
Good Luck, L.M.

This may be a stupid ? But what end goes towards the front.
small bushing end or big bushing end. I wasn't paying attention when
Took old ones off. Thanks
Small bushing and small bolt sleeve towards the shackle.
