Rear leaf question

[08LTZ]

I just got my lift for my 72'. I got the Tuff Country 2" suspension. The rear springs only measure 49" from center of eye to center of eye. Is this right? The ones on the rig now are 52". Will these settle out to be the correct length or are they the wrong springs. The front ones are about the same length. I am waiting on a response from Suspension Connection where I got them but I figure I would have better luck here. Thanks

you need to measure along the arch of the spring.

Its pretty typical for lifted 52" springs to measure less than 52" when they aren't under the truck.

You're probably worrying about nothing, I bet those are the right springs.

x2.it will flatten out a lil when you put weight on it.also they have a bigger arch to give you the lift so it will be shorter eye to eye to give you that lift.
