Alright changed the center pins on my front leafsprings and that fixed the problem of them fanning.
While I was working on the YJ I decided to take the front and rear trac-bars on and take out the sway bar also. This thing flexs ten times better. I will now have to cut the rear fenders out because the tires smashed them in for my.
Anyway now to the question...
After a good day of wheeling the Jeep is sagging to the driverside real bad and I am not really sure what is causeing it, and know its not because I am a fat ass. Just buy lookin at the jeep you can see how bad it is sagging, it was doing this before the trac-bars were removed but know its alot worse.
Any ideas?

sounds like your springs are shot. You may have S-ED them out.

When your spring goes from a "U" shape to an "S" shape. Sometimes happens when you flex them too much or they are just an old worn out spring.

I cant believe that I flexed that much I drive a YJ with 33 and 4" of lift and no trac-bars, also the springs are less then a year old.

Get under there and spend some quality time LOOKING around. It could be cracked leaves, broken mounts, or an inverted shackle on the oposite corner. But looking under your rig is your best bet.

Put in some bump stops so you dont invert your springs they will last longer.

I have extended bump stops but they dont look like they do to much.
No inverted shackles, but I am going to get under there during lunch and take a better look.
In case these springs are junk, what would be a good spring company to get some new springs, Alcan?

Screw it, went and bought some 4.5 RE springs for it today. This should fix the problem.
For Sale: Used 4" lift springs for a YJ one rear slighly bent..:flipoff2:

Ya I am going to have to check on those bump stops, right now I have the shitty ones that bolt on to your axle under the u-bolt. I will have to upgrade to the frame mounted ones so I dont bend these springs.

You guys dont laugh now. I got the springs from 4wd hardware, and they have been on the jeep for less than a year.
Its the 4wd hardware kit that comes will all the other junk.
one thing if for sure they are junk.
Everytime I take a turn or hit a bump the whole ass end of the jeep bottoms out.
