Are the housing mounting brackets indexed correctly on the spring pins?

Tighten it down. Springs have either a little rust in the packs or twisted a little after all these years. No big deal.

Just remember though, those nits are a low torque application. When you tighten them and straighten everything out, you will want to loosen them back off and finish torque them to the correct 45LBFT. Do the final torque with the weight on the suspension.

where's the sense of adventure in that?

besides it's 50/50 or 50.

50/50 it sucks up and closes the gap with a little more oomph, or snaps one of the legs off the U-bolt and then it's 50 bucks for a new set.
