    Rear springs question

    Just installed new rear spring but I noticed that my left spring is more compressed at the bottom then the right spring. And the top of the right spring is compressed more then the left? I have attached a couple of pictures.

    Normally the compressed coils go at the top, but its for no other reason beyond the springs ability to clear debris.
