    I don't think there is any thing sinister going on there.

    I'd just jack the passenger side up and give the bottom of the spring a whack with a bit of four-be-two and a lump hammer...that should reseat it.

    try and jack it up from the chasis if you can......
    this will let the suspension droop and put less pressure on the spring so it will go in easier....
    it appears you got longer shocks with your lift.....maybe a bit too long for the springs.....?
    did you get longer springs....or just stiffer....


    dont worry too much about it.....it cant pop out while the shock absorber runs through the centre of it....
