If you loosen the bottom retainer, you should be able to spin the spring into the corect postion.

i just heard from cage and they said the same thing.i thought the spring needed to be back to the stop on the plate.

The bottom part of the cup is probably either off by 180, or do you have the Right and Left mixed up?

 

[black pearl]

right and left is the same.the coil just needs spun around.

True Right and Left are the same, what I meant by right and left is 180 out.

The coil bucket is in ther right place with the long side out. I would let the hi-lift jack down so a little weight is on the springs and then loosen the spring retainer bolts up and spin it around about a quarter turn counterclockwise until it slides right into place.

Just finished installing my front springs. Yep, you should just need to spin them. Good Job.

problem?what problem?everything looks ok to me ;D all i had to do was loosen the bolts and spin the springs.i wasn't aware that the springs didn't need to be against the stops in the bottom plate.

mine was doing the same and I had the bottom plate 180 out. the coil should fit into the groove..
