Ridetech spring slightly off of retainer...
Does this look ok? No idea why it's posting upside down. Spring hanging slightly off of retainer:

What specs are your springs? are you sure they are 2.5" ID springs and no metric?

I called them and told them what car and drivetrain combo I have. They shipped me out their recommended set up. For whatever reason, I think they are 600 lb springs.

Hey,
Sometimes the springs will slide on the delrin washers/retainers, that's not uncommon. All of our springs are 2.5" I.D. and 3.5" O.D., you're welcome to measure that just to be sure and let me know what you come up with, but that's not a problem that I've ever seen. It doesn't look like anything to really worry about!

Thanks Josh....I started looking at other ridetech installs and most looked like mine. It just looked wrong at first.
