New springs for my bike

So I ordered a set of single rate springs from racetech for a 2011 blackline, the springs I was sent are very much shorter than the stock ones.... no I did not want to lower my front end....has anyone run into this before?
kinda wondered if I was sent the wrong springs or if a whole bunch of spacer is needed.
