When the springs were installed in the stock location, with the superstock front hangars, the flat part of the spring where the housing mounts on the perches, are at two different angles (about 3 degrees different) from each other. I tightened the U bolts on the right side and then tightened the left, but obviousle, it loads the springs. I need to figure if this is normal or if the springs are somehow incorrect. I have put about 150 miles on the car and there doesn't seem to be any problem, but .........

What do you mean the perches are at a different angle (?)
Also, If you are installing the spring relocation kit, you don't use
front spring hangers ... the large bolt goes through the spring eye and
the new "box" that is welded into the frame.
What am I missing?
