use the correct valve keepers that get you the properly specified spring install height.

I bought the trick flow upgrade kit for ford 302, why would they have different keepers if it's for my heads?

Also is it okay to keep it like that? What would be the consequence?

what part of "You need to check the specified installed height" is so hard to understand?

Yeah I'm a noob, I thought it would be an easy swap, I really didn't do any research due to it being easy, I didn't think I would encounter something like this, my first upgrade to the heads so I really don't know what to look for, what is the hight it's suppose to be at?

It is an easy swap, follow the directions. Some kits have specific exhaust and intake keepers.
