Lowering springs

I have 1968 c 10 and installed lowering spindles and springs. Springs are sitting in pockets correctly but left side is not centered on chassis going towards the top. Its also lower 3/8 on that side. I tried swapping springs with right side and sits pefect.

Has anyone had this problem installing?
Thank you

Re: Lowering springs

If you switched sides and it's sitting perfect now, it sounds like the spring wasn't actually in the pocket correctly. But you're saying switching sides fixed it right?

Re: Lowering springs

There is an upper locater/pocket too, make sure it isn't sitting on top of it.
