I bought a set of new strut assemblies from a 2022 owner and installed on a 4th gen 2006 SR5. Both coils had orange/white dots and same coil count. I've only been driving it for a week but It seems to ride okay so far. Perhaps the stiffer coils aren't impacted as much on the lighter 4th gen. Should I attempt to locate a 9 coil for the driver's side and reinstall?
With gas tank 3/4 full, I measured from floor to bottom of fender and the driver's side sits approximately 3/4 inch lower than passenger.
Options: 1) Leave it as-is assuming the 3/4 inch height difference is within tolerance. 2) Add a spacer to the driver's side. 3) Locate a 5th gen 9-count coil and replace the driver's side. 4) Pull both sides and replace the coils with the old 4th gen coils (keeping the 5th gen shocks). Thoughts?
Update: I had the dealership perform a wheel alignment after the suspension change. No issues after 6 months of driving and the 3/4" height difference isn't noticeable.
