Reinstalled gas tank and need help

Like stated, I reinstalled my gas tank and put the suspension back together. But when I start letting the jack down, the rearend starts rotating downward and the springs looks as if they'll fall out if I go all the way. Did I miss something or is this normal? Thanks.

If your shocks are installed, your springs wont come out.

Did you get the springs back into the donuts the correct way? You may also have to turn the spring a little to get it to sit correctly on the axle.
