Just got done cutting a half coil and it only lowered the truck about 1/2". I lined the top of the spring up in the pocket so the bottom end of the spring was by the ball joint 180 degrees opposite from where it normally is. I'm now at 29 1/2" tall I was looking for 28 1/2 to 29"

Should I rotate the spring 180 degrees so the bottom pigtail is in the groove like stock? Will the top "locate" like it should?
