Re: front coil position

Mine has a little pocket for the very end of the spring to sit down in on the lower control arm

Re: front coil position

It's been a while since I had springs in my truck, but IIRC there is a little indented tab where the end of the coil spring sits to prevent it from spinning and to seat it properly in the LCA. It should be pretty straightforward.

Re: front coil position

Just happens I put new springs in an hour ago and yes there is a indent in the lower control arm with a hole that lines up with the bottom of the coil to help hold from spinning, as mentioned above. When the bottom is lined up the top will also line up, (except if your using a coil that hasnt been cut a full coil)

Hope that helps.
