Have you been pulling away aggressively? Or thrashing it offroad? Are the U bolts nice and tight?
Looks like it has been caused by axle wrap. Either way it's not what you should expect from new springs so I would be phoning the company you got them from up.

It's a 410 SPUA, if it's axle wrap they are seriously bad springs. Has it done it on both sides?
Mine are Llama springs, really impressed with them for comfort and flex from a lift spring.

When we fitted Twiss's front springs once we done them you could really notice the difference.

Yr they both look like that
All I am saying is that the thing that holds the spring together should be holdong 3 leafs together like its jordi unlike mine is only holding 2 leafs together
Ye but did ur temp gauge go up quite a bit and did it clutch stink afterwards lol

I can't fault anything I have had from Llama and I've had lots.
