i hate to ask but i didn't see it in the faq. are you guys running the chevy springs the same direction that they came out of the chevy ? i noticed one end of the springs is higher than the other and it made me wonder

i did. usually one side of the spring is softer so if you don't run it that way you'll have axle wrap. i have no idea if the chevys have a soft side though.
