    Springs different heights

    Im about to put my OME 2" lift springs and shocks in, and I noticed the springs are a little different in height, obviously the rear springs are taller than the front springs, but shouldn't both rear springs be the same height, the front springs are the same, both different heights. Are the taller springs perhaps for the passenger side? Or do I have a faulty product? They have they same part numbers on them.

    There should be a tag or sticker on them telling you what side ...

    I thought the longer ones where for the drivers side, to counter the weight of the driver and the subtank.
    Well I put my longer springs on the drivers side and it's pretty flat

    Definitely longer springs on drivers side, to allow for the extra weight....
