can you please measure them for me from the top of the coil to the bottom from the inside. one of the springs i got is a little less then 1/2 inch shorter then then the other. I want to know whats the normal size under pressure in a truck. thanks, with nothing in a bed. if you want picture on how i measured them i will send them to you thanks. oh they are early classic springs, thanks

I can go measure mine, but they are not loaded as I am still at just a frame. My only thought is that maybe you have one of the cups different than the other side. I know when I put mine on it really made a difference in how the spring sat based on how I turned the cup.

maybe your right about how i set it in. i got to excited when installing them i didn't realy bother on seeing if they both sat the same way, but that did cross my mind once. It's to dark out at the moment, but after tomorrows show i'll rip the sob out.

One more thing can you email me a picture of the cut outs and fabrication you did on your frame crossmember for the eaxhaust. thanks
