i have a set of moroso rear springs in my 69. i have the problem that when i jack the back of the car up the springs want to come out of place. they end up about one inch below the top pad. only thing that kind of keeps it in place is the pad bushing, but if im not careful when i lower the car back down the spring will fall out of place. one good thing is i dont need a compressor to take them out, i can pull them out by hand.

i want to keep these springs they are just right for the stance and performance i want. any add ons to keep these springs in place a little better

Yep, buy the right length shocks. You shocks are too long for the spring lenght. This will be a real problem if the rear of the car ever gets airborne on the road.

i have summit drag shocks on the back. i've doubled checked and springs and shocks are proper application.

I know OPG carries shorter lenght KYB shocks. They are specifically designed for your problem. I would check into those as well.
