FJ Spring question

[04BCT4RLTD]

I've read on here that there is a difference between the front two springs off the fj cruiser. I was wondering if someone could tell me which is for the left and right sides. I'm installing them soon and want to figure it out before hand. I think the left one is a little longer to support the weight of the battery and gas tank. The struts are allready attached so I can't tell if one is longer than the other. There is paint markings on the springs and hoping that someone can help me with this. Thanks in advance.

On mine, green/gray on the passenger side, green/yellow on the drivers side.

Interesting that the seemingly shorter shock/spring is on the Driver's side. I'm trying to get FJ springs all around for my 4 Bilstein 5100s. Maybe I'll try the longer spring/shock on the Driver's side since I noticed it always seems to settle a bit lower on that side when parked.

Hmmm... Sharp eye but we saw two different things. I saw a slightly shorter spring on the Grey/Green one. I am pretty sure the shocks are NOT right/left specific.

The difference wasn't much, but the driver's side was visibly longer than the passenger side, colors as listed above.

ARK,
In regards to your aforementioned colors, am I correct to assume that this was after you swapped sides to get rid of the .5" difference between the sides? I wanted to double-check before I fell into the same predicament :thanks:

 

[ARK_SWAMP_RIDER]

Yes, colors mentioned were after I swapped. I can look later today to confirm this, but I know I paid not attention to colors before I swapped sides with them due to the lean issue.

x2 on Green/Yellow on the Divers side, its about 1/4 in taller.
