The Ford Barn - View Single Post - adding front springs finally-check me

Be careful here and make sure you have the END of the bottom coil of the spring positioned so that that end will fit into the recess of the lower control arm. You will not ba able to rotate the spring once the spring compressor is tightened nor after the installation is complete. And be sure to get the springs on BOTH sides done this way or you will have a slightly un-even ride that there is no cure for (except to rotate those springs into the recesses properly so that they are even on both sides).
Don't forget to install the big round rubber insulator on top of the spring before shoving it up inside the frame.
