    The spring cups are angled on one end and the other end of them ( bottom side) has a groove machined in them with out a notch to loacte the spring, The top and bottm spring paockets are both angled so I chose to hide them in the top so I can use the spring notch in the bottom A arm to hold the spring in the correct postion, as it was mentioned I don't think it matters and it went together fine this way. Also I ordered some 3 1/2 inch Mr .Gasket Shock extensions so when they arrive that will be the last thing to install.

    Note angle that lower A frame in comparison to base of coil spring. Even here coil spring is all ready taking on a curved shape despite spacer having bevel cut to compensate for it.

    Yes, I saw they sat up of the surface and figured like you that that was because of a locating lip machined into that bottom side.
