HELP: Which Coil Spring is which??

Unread post by armybuck041 » January 29th, 2011, 7:13 pm

Hey guys,

I pulled my Suspensions apart nearly 10 months ago.

I'm putting it back together now, but have forgotten which Coils are which.

So, which ones are in the Front, the longer or shorter pair??

[EDIT} One Pair = 11", the other Pair = 13"

Thanks

shorter

The orginal was a rear spring. The previous owner didn't like the lower front end so he put a rear spring in the front. I put front springs back in the front. :mrgreen:
