Default What is wrong with my springs?

Does it seem like the back is lower than the front. According to my fingers i can fit only 1 under the rear well and 2 under the front well.





ALso, check out how the bars on this spring are touching. is that supposed to be like that? Doesnt make sense. Those are KGMM springs with 1.5 in drop. I put the taller springs in back and shorter ones in front. I think thats how it goes.

They probably installed the front springs in the back, and the back springs in the front.

Don't quote me but for some reason I think that the taller springs are supposed to go in the front My Espelirs were marked so I did not have to think about it when I installed mine and I don't really remember for sure but you should definetely figure this out for sure because something is not right there

Drop looks good though

Yeah, I think the fronts and rears might be reversed. The fronts are suppose to have the larger springs, and the shorter ones go in the rear.
