Got my setup today and marlin put my bottom strut cups upside down I think ... If I flip them over don't I gain the 1.5 lift

Or am I missing a spacer to raise the bottom plate up ?

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

Yea it's just sitting there ... So where does lift in the strut come from

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

I compressed them myself but I'm not going to say how because it was a very stupid way and I'm lucky it worked out, but yes as Tom said pay someone the money to have them put together for you
