OME 880/906 Springs - Side Specific?

[kissmybass]

Hi guys, I just installed bilstein 5100 and OME springs (880 front/906 rear). Things went OK for the most part.

I did some post install measuring and noticed my fronts are about 3/4" off from side to side. The rear is like 1/4" off which isn't too bad. I let it settle for about a week now (did elocker axle swap). I haven't gotten an alignment yet but I don't see how that can affect height.

It led me to research this topic and I noticed a lot of people saying OME put A/B on their springs. On my springs (just checked), it's just labeled OME 880X and OME 906X on both sets of springs. I'm starting to think I installed the front ones in reverse but I have no way of telling. The rear's might be reversed too since the 1/4" higher is on the passenger side (gas tank is on the driver side as you know).

Also, does the spring perch for the front strut have to face the outside of the car? On the driver side, it's facing the direct front of the vehicle. Not sure if that matters since I saw speedy's was this way.

Also, I did do some sanity checks and compared the springs and the sticker on the spring before installing and they were identical (which is strange and conflicting). The A/B forums are from 2005 so I imagine manufacturing processes have changed.

I might have to pull this sucker apart again and reverse the front and fix the spring perch position (OCD)....

I just noticed that the driver side used to be lower than passenger with OEM springs too... I also just noticed the OME spring actually didn't lift much! Guess my 99 talls weren't sagging up front.

There was just a discussion about this on page 2 now.

Might help a bit.

So i found my 906's were side specific. The sticker on the spring itself has an A/B on it. As luck would have it, I put them on in reverse. Fortunately, they are easy to swap. Weridly the 808 are NOT side specific. The stickers do not show the same lettering (A/B).

I do have a slight driver side lean still (3/8") after fixing everything in the rear. However, this was present with the stock 99 tall spring also. I'm satisfied...
