Did you put the springs on yourself? They could be old and saggy.

Did you buy brand new springs. I can't tell what you are saying? If you did and they are de-arching already they should be under warranty.

Both front and rear are brand new. The rear are great. The front is starting to negitive arching. I got the from a local 4Wheel drive shop so I know that their isent a warrenty. Could teh brand be a problem?

Pictures would help, but if the front springs are de-arching that is the problem, that's really pretty pathetic that they would sag that fast. What brand are they?

never hurts to take out the and cut out fenders and do some pounding to fit some big tires. Hell its just sheet metal

I have 5inch Allpro springs that fit 35 with minimal rubbing and Im going to 37's now and will have to do some extra pounding and cutting to make them fit good. Maybe they sold you the wrong size springs should say the lift on them though
