Install Strano rear springs?

95 - z28 I am installing the Strano springs in place of the existing Eibach Pro's.
The Strano's are 1 inch shorter and will not touch both spring perches at full rear axle droop.

How do you guys keep the springs lined up with the perches when letting the car back down?

jack up by the diff.

You will love the difference when you are carrying passengers. I went from Sensatracs/Prokit to Koni/Stranos and couldn't believe the difference with people in the car.

wow yours dont touch the perches?? Mine wouldn't go in at full axle drop! But, I have the dana 60, so that might have something to do with it. It was a PITA to get mine in.

Nope they don't touch the perches. (stocke rear axle)

The Strano's are 1 inch shorter in free legnth than the Eibach Pro's.
(uncompressed out of car)

Currently have KYB AGX shocks.
Maybe the axle drop will change when I put the Koni's on.
