Default Progressive Monotubes owners

I received my Monotubes this week and gave the instructions a look. It says to lower 2" use the short and long top spring. I only have 2 long top springs, no short ones. Will I use the stock ones or am I missing the short ones?

Jameson, I lowered my front end also with the monotubes. I have an 06 Fatboy. I had to use the short top springs from the stock ones along with the new monotubes. Hope this helps...

It tells you in the instructions to use the stock ones.
