Default Front Coil Spring Cushions or Sleeves??
When I removed my stock front coil springs from my 77 neither had any type of cushion or sleeve on the top or the bottom. I couldn't find any online either. Do they just sit metal to metal on the top and the bottom?

Yes. They sit metal to metal and should align within the spring pocket. Make the they don't cover the drain hole in the lower arm.
