Index the bottom of the spring into the LCA, there will be a noticeable indentation in the ring where it seats itself down into that notch. It may be full of crud, you just have to dig to find it. Let the top fall in where it wants to.

Keep in mind you truck has probably settled over the years. 30+ year old springs will get weaker over time. So, the front of your truck at stock height is probably about 1" lower before you start putting the springs in vs. where it was when it was new.

So, if you buy 2" dropped springs that's measured vs. stock height.. not sagged stock height. Dont be surprised if lets say you bought 2" drop springs and you only net about 1" drop compared to where you started. It's frustrating to put all that work into it hoping for 2" drop and then you let it down and it's barely 1" lower. Ask me how I know.
