Did you put the springs on the right sides? Front or rear?
The factory springs AFAIK have the center pin in the center of the spring. When you get aftermarket springs they sometimes move the center pin to make it look right.

The part # that is on the spring should be on the front side of the spring.

i thought i had them on right because of the way the weges were on the bottom of the spring.are they supposed to have the smaller side torward the front for pinion angles?when i took the lift blocks off the smaller side was to the front so i thought that was how to install the springs.i measured them it has 26 inches to the center pin torward the back and 25 to the front.would it be better to switch the direction of the srpings around?

by the way they were just the rear springs i replaced.the front was already done but are4 sagging a little so eventually those will get done too.

Sounds like you need to turn them around. You could also turn the degree shims to make the driveshaft angles work. Maybe they got put on wrong at the factory?
