coil spring question

hi guys my 1968 chev truck i am working on i changed the coil springs from original to a 2 inch drop coil and now when i jack the front end up i can turn my coil spring in its pocket just a little bit i dont think thats normal

Re: coil spring question

Normal for a 2' drop spring to be able to be shifted in place when weight off the wheels ( some require less effort than others to move ), the 3" when used will actually rattle around when the truck is jacked up fully to where when you go to lower it you need to make sure they are positioned correctly.
