I hope so I got the back in today and it's right I think :/ so I'm going to call them in the am and see what's up if they say there right then I'm going to have to see what I can do do you think there backwards ? I got the springs that move them a inch forward . And the little spring perch is in the back and the big ones up front and the off road design stickers in the back . So I don't know ill switch them around this week and see where I'm at . But now I gotta get drive shafts built and then it's finished !!

So did you try my suggestion?

As for them being installed backwards or not, only you can determine that. Off the shelf springs have centered pins but since these are custom with offset pins you'll have to get in there with a tape measure and figure that out.

As far as having them on backwards, that wont cause this problem because the overall length doesn't change. Having them backwards would just cause center pin location issues.

Also, it sounds like you're measuring eye to eye. To correctly measure the spring you need to measure along the arch of the spring.

I'd send those pictures to ORD and ask them what they want you to do. Whatever they measure out to be in length, it's not long enough IMHO.
