My new 76 with 4/6 drop and question

[mk3barti]

Hi All
I joined the board last year when I had my 67 but I have since sold it and replaced it with this 76. The first order of business was to get it closer to the ground. I went with Belltech 4/6 and am happy with it. The ride of the kit is good although I need to remove the factory bump stop mounts and put the ones from the kit in because there isn't enough clearance right now (I didn't C notch it). The rear flip kit needed some grinding to get the axle to seat properly but other than that it was pretty easy to install. The instructions said for the bracket "eye" to point towards the front, but doing that threw my pinion angle out. I reversed it and it is fine. I have read some others having issues on this as well. I basically ditched the instructions for the rear because they weren't as good as the front and the pictures were so dark I couldn't see them.

My question: Has anyone had to modify the front springs or the upper spring cradle to get them to fully seat? Truck is about .75 of an inch higher in the front and it looks like the springs didn't wrap around the cradle like the factory ones did. Or my leafs could be sagged causing the back to be lower?
