The orientation of the lower perch looks correct to me, but needs to be slid down another couple inches to rest on that shoulder. |

You'll get the lift from the longer coils with a heavier spring rate. |

All you are missing is the isolators Lift as mentioned comes in the fact that the aftermarket springs are somewhat longer and also a higher spring rate For example stock is 310 lb, OME 927s which most use and Ironman HDs are about the same , are 400 lb rating |

Hope you are taking them to a shop to have them compressed, coils are tight on the Ironman and those cheap ****zone etc ones won't come back out when compressed |
