everyone has stuff on here about fj springs. I just replaced my front struts and saw different colors like blue and red and i forget the other color combo on the springs. I know I probably got them mixed up and wanted to make sure there is no diff in the length of stock 4runner springs? if there is what is the effect if I leave the shorter one on the driver side?

The longer spring goes on the drivers side. If you get them swapped, the 4runner will be leaning to one side. You have the battery and gas tank on the drivers side, so the longer spring is needed to offset this. I can't remember the colors, but if you'll stand them up side by side, you'll see one is about 1/2" taller than the other. That's the easiest way. I accidently put my FJ springs on backwards, and the drivers side sat about an inch lower than the passenger side.
 
never again will i pull both struts at the same time!

for all of you out there who would like to know this is some good info sry for no picks but i was in a rush. took the front struts off again today and swapped them out. on a 2004 toyota 4runner 4x4 sr5 stock there are RED and BLUE paint on the PASSEMGER spring and RED and WHITE paint marks on the DRIVER side spring make sure you do not get these mixed up or else you will have about a 1/2 inch diff of a sag on the drivers side and trust me it is noticeable!
