Spring Installation Question

I installed my Pro-kit wrong... my car is riding 5" too high all because i was trying too hard to put the end of the spring in what i thought was the proper location, meanwhile unknowingly misplacing the top.

i was wondering how important it is to get the bottom of the spring in the right spot? and if my idea of the correct spot is the correct one (the inner most hole in the perch)

Thank you, Jeff.

Re: Spring Installation Question

The end of the spring should be positioned between the two drain holes.
