3-inch front drop spring install

[64chevmn]

I just got a set of CPP 3-inch front lowering springs and 2-inch drop spindles. I figured I would still need a spring compressor to get the coil springs compressed enough to get the spindles to bolt on, but surprisingly I was able to get the ball joint nuts started without much effort. I've never installed a set of lowering springs before, but it seemed too easy. Is this typical of 3-inch drop springs; they seem snug but I can still slightly twist them once everything was bolted tight (no weight on the front end yet).
