    You expect a reply in 9 minutes? Sigh. New people these days. OK there's no real mounting as such when it comes to the rubber spring seats The rubber pretty much just sits on there. If you have a look at the rubber you should be able to figure out how its supposed to sit on there.

    Pull the rubber off. Or line it up and when you are lowering the vehicle back down make sure it stays lined up.

    pretty sure you've got the wrong spring.
    have a look on the king spring website at part numbers etc.
    my ssl's 'loop' at the top like your new ones. but my stock springs did exactly the same thing.
    i wouldnt run incorrect springs, because it will most likely do a lot of damage.

    What may be a cause. You may of had some sort of towing pack with longer springs and different shocks then factory. That's the only thing I can think of. How low are the springs? Ultra, super or low? Part number could help in identifying it. I ran cut super lows with factory shocks and had no dramas besides obviously the numpty cut springs.

    IRS will have CV Drive Shafts, Soild Diffs have Axels.
    If it's not a Symptom its not relevant, and if its not relevant I don't care!

    Post up the part number on the springs. I am sure one of us will soon tell you if it's the right spring for your application.
