2" lift springs
« on: May 07, 2008, 19:41:21 »
Hi guys had a set of 2" lift springs given to me. I have noticed that there is some difference in height between  the n/s and o/s springs Which side does the taller spring sit n/s or o/s. cheers Tim :?

Typically the longer spring should be the same side as the driver (the heaviest side). Both springs on an axle should be the same rate, though one side can be made longer to level the vehicle when the center of gravity is not exactly in the middle.
