Are these springs right? They're supposed to be front Sasquatch springs. I've been fighting this thing all night and I can't get the isolators to fit into the spring. One end of the spring is pinched down and no matter which end I put up it won't fit in Icon's isolator or Ford's.

From the instructions it appears the pinched end should point down but it's not going to happen.

Are you sure you have springs for the Bilsteins and not the Hitachis? I've had both and just remember they were different widths on the bases but can't remember which was more narrow.

See that's what I'm wondering, if these are correct. The tags are in rough shape so I don't have much to go on.

Just looking through some of my pictures, none are really good to distinguish between the two, but it appears the Bilstein springs barely step down on the last coil. The Hitachis have a very obvious stepdown to about half width on the last coil

I don't think they are SAS springs 🤔

I think you guys are right. Here's some squatch coils currently on the marketplace and they look more open on the bottom.

Talk about frustrating. Where did you obtain those coils?

All squatch coils I've found have been Green/Red/Green or Green/White/Green.

I guess that settles it.
