When installing thes spacers, was I supposed to replace the track bar with a longer one? I installed these a year ago and loved he new look, but now When viewing my truck from behind, it leans down heavily on the drivers side. When I crawled under you can see deflection on the driver side coil. I am pretty sure I need to replace the coil, but what could have caused this issue and how to I resolve it? Thank you so much for the help!

Did you replace the stock struts too? Those are usually only good for a 1/2 to 1in spacer. Pretty sure anything over would hyperextend your rear suspension

It won't be that because I replaced my rear coils with ssc50 springs which gave me a 3 inch lift without changing the shocks or the rear stabilizer bar

Yes the photo worked!
I'm sure someone else will chime in soon about something more specific, but I can only imagine that putting in new springs to raise the rear that high will put a lot of strain on the track bar and strut since it's still pulling those parts out of their intended specs. Seems like the track bar in this case is the limiting factor

To me it looks like the spring isn't seated correctly.

Can you take some more pics of multiple angles and the whole rear end to see how it's sitting? From that one picture it doesn't look like the spring is seated or is installed clocked or upside down but it's difficult to tell.

Take a better picture of the top of the coil where the spacer is. It almost looks like the spacer popped out, or it's mounted the wrong way.
