Installed Spring Upside Down?

Yep, I think my rear springs are upside down. Does it matter? Do I need to swap them the right way?

Which springs did you get? If you got the linear ones like the Steeda Sports either way works.

They are Ford K Springs. I think they're upside down because the Ford logo is upside down.

Running the Ford logo upside down voids your warranty.

The section in the spring where the coils are closer together go up on top Tanner...and yea, I believe it does matter which way you have them.
hope this helps ya!

That end goes on top? Hell, I thought that was the bottom end. Haven't noticed a difference and I don't really think it matters.

Lol oh Tanner you are something else... They are probably upside down and I don't see why it would matter which was is which but I'd put them in the right way. Plus they are easy to swap in and out in the rear.
