When I talked to them they said they've been selling that spring for these trucks for decades. When I told them the problem, they said to seat the spring correctly in the upper perch and not worry about perfect seating in the control arm, in order to allow the spring to twist. I think that sounds goofy, but that's their story. Regardless, the spring is in and can't get out of the control arm so I'm going with it.
Yeah I talked and emailed eibach several times. They said the spring is right and not to worry about the bottom. It's just aggravating that what you are buying is more of a universal spring vs a custom fit. However, eibach never really told me where the spring should ride in the upper pocket. All they kept saying was just make sure the top is correct.
