3rd Gen "Lean"

[Bballreich]

The left drivers side of my 2000 Limited is about .75 to 1.00 inches lower than the right side. I've researched the forum and understand the reason. Can anyone confirm that new OME 906 springs are slightly taller on the left side to compensate for the lean? If someone has installed these springs, do they change the ride quality at all? Thanks for the information.

The 906 are taller on the driver side, and are marked side specific.
As far as changing the ride quality, that depends on what you have on your rig now. I've read some posts where people think they're stiffer than OEM, but I haven't noticed much of a difference from the 99 talls that they replaced.

I just installed 906s in place of my exhausted and sagging factory '99 "tall" springs. The driver side of the 906s is marked "A" and the passenger side is marked "B". The "B" side is a tad shorter.

The 906s are definitely much stiffer. The proof of this is that the '99s are taller than the 906s in uncompressed form, yet the truck was 20 7/8" hub-to-fender on the '99s and 22" exactly, on both sides, on the 906s.

I find the ride is much improved. Now I hear the bumps in the road, but I don't FEEL them like I used to. I must have been hitting the stops.

Here is my old '99 tall on the left and the new "A" side 906 on the right. The 906 is quite a bit shorter. The "B" side is shorter still.
