Front coil springs

I have a 63 c10 that I upgraded to an 85 front crossmember. I bought djm lowering control arms for the front. So far everything is working I just have a question issue with the front coil springs. They are not siting fully against the lower control arm. If just half of the bottom of the spring is I. The control arm is that okay?? Thanks for the help

Re: Front coil springs

Looks like there is no weight on them yet. Once you put the weight back on the suspension it will look like it should.

Be sure when you install them, with slightest pressure to hold them in, that you spin the spring clockwise until its bottom "end" is snugly against the bottom 'locator'.
