Weight jack install issues? Or not?

I installed 850lb, UMI weight jacks on the front this weekend. Currently the fender height is 27" (I will lower to 26" once I can confirm I installed it right). Do these look right? It looks like my spring is completely compressed.




I'm running Konis set on their middle setting for the struts. Thanks!

They look ok, just fully extended. Also make sure they seat into the recessed areas. Mine are a little clunky in that sense.

Make sure the spring is perched correctly into the A arm. They can bind up if not indexed correctly. You should see the coil end butt up against the tab on the control arm.
