Posie spring question

Hi u all I have a question on Posie reverse eye springs I installed Duel flex in front of my 56 f 100 with reverse eye in front but when sitting on ground wheel sits back about 1.5 to 2 inches back and then measured center pin eye to center pin and find that they are different so I am asking did I mount these wrong and does reverse eye go toward back if any one understands this thanks for any come back........

The reversed eye goes to the front. Here is how I mounted mine. As you can see they fit right under the jounce bumpers so there was no offset to the rear. I would call Posie's directly. They were always most helpful when I had a question and they make the springs right there in Hummelstown, PA.




The red jack stands are in the front.

The wheel does sit back about that far from factory. I have heard that the aftermarket springs had adjusted that by moving the wheel forward in the wheel well but I am not sure. I have been thinking going the mono-leaf with reversed eye.
