So, I'm building up the suspension on my '59 project. I'm at the point of putting in the coil springs. The coil spring is 10.25" and the aluminum packing adds 1.25" It seemed really tight going in, and the spring seems a bit bowed after installed. I did some reading, and now I understand that that there are two different Springs available. Apparently I have the "tall" ones. I also understand that there may be two different size packings. My question is, Do I just omit the packing all together? I can't seem to find a source for the shorter packing. I have some shorter springs, but they look pretty tired.
Thanks
Joe
