I didn't pay attention to which rear spring came from which side or it's front's or rear's.

But I remember somone saying it didn't matter, that the center pin is in the middle of the spring.

Tell me I'm correct...:(

they are not symetrical. I just spent three hours in the garage switching them back. There is a 3/4 difference in length. Put the longer side forward. THis way it gives a little clearance from the wheel well.

I hope you're doing more than just bolting in the lift.

You need to put the short side *forward* if you're just installing a 4" Skyjacker lift.

It might *LOOK* better with the long-side forward, but you're shooting yourself in the foot.

With the short-side forward, my 33s would droop UNDER the rocker - they would clear it, even thought it was "close" at-rest, but at droop they'd droop under the rocker.

When stuffed, they would STILL stick on the rear bottom lip of the wheel well. Even with the short-side forward, I was hitting at the rear.


If you put the long-side forward, you'll just hit the wheel tub that much quicker.

Now, if you're tubbing it out.. then by all means, have at it.

Otherwise, you need to turn those springs back around.

Plus you can keep your stock driveshaft if you run the short-end forward.
