Great Forum!

I'm installing a set of Classic performance Products 3" drop springs into my '71 c-10. I've replaced all of the ball joints, Tie rods and ect at the same time. What I'm finding on reassembling the d*!m thing is that the spring is not compressed at all when everything is bolted in correctly. It flops around a bit (Without the tire on) and I'm afraid if my front wheel ever left the ground, the thing would fall out.

Anyone out there ever have this problem? I'm stupid, I know, but a case of beer to the first answer that fixes this.
