Cut springs which end goes where?

[toofun]

OK,

Have a question. I cut my stock SB springs and before I cut them the top and the bottom had both had flattened out coils. But now that I cut the springs(removed one full coil) I have one end that is not flat anymore. The bottom is still flat because I cut only from the top. So my question is which end should go up into the spring perch in the frame and which end should go in the lower tubular control arm? Thanks In advance!!

I dunno what is right, but I always put the cut end in the control arm and the flat end in the frame pocket.

I was told Guldstrand says to put the cut end up. I felt that the A arm was a bit thicker and put the cut end down. It also seems easier to properly postion a stock end up rather than a cut end while installing a coil.
