Chevy1, there is always that possibility I put them in wrong but I think they can only go in one way. I bought the springs from ChevyDuty and maybe I will contact them...they have been very good so far and maybe they will make things right. I think the "made in China" label on the springs might have had something to do with it. I did buy two sets so I will try the second set and see if the springs hang in there.
