I've installed my OME lift and she 1/2 inch low on the right and 1/2 high on the left. They were labeled A and B so i figured the A spring fits the driver side and the B spring fits the passenger side...i could have sworn i read in a post that this is the way to go...after i installed them i also think i remember reading that A is driver side...in Australia...i can't find these posts now...I'm about to switch them. So, in America...the A goes on the passenger side (right) and B on the drivers side (left)?

Those are the right sides. Assuming they are installed correctly, make sure they are seated properly in the axle housing mounts and the upper mounts.

Fill up your tank and drive a hundred miles then tell us what it looks like. Gotta give it time to settle
 
What do you have up front?
The front coils can have a direct effect on the rear height.
Maybe the drivers front coil isn't seated properly.
 
883 up front, had them assembled at toytec. O m e 9 0 0 0 4 front shocks.
Should i go ahead and have it aligned?
 
OK so I've put about 500 miles on it since the lift and it is still leaning to the right. I can also tell that when I turn it leans way more to the right than the left. I've looked everything over and it all looks good. All bolts torque to spec. Toytech put them together and they looked seated. Not sure what to do. It is totally possible that I put them on backwards....I tried to find where they are labeled A and B but no luck...

How much have you pushed the articulation? My 890s were settling so unevenly I
thought I was dealing with faulty metalurgy. I found a hill I could flex out the
rears a bunch of times and it really seemed to push the break-in period along.
My Driver's Side (spring A) is only about 1/4" higher now. Seems right to me.

Hold on are we talking about your 891's or 883's??

That seems pretty weird. You'd want the driver side high because of weight on the left, but that would be unloaded. Have you put a full tank of gas and 180+ pounds in the driver seat, then measured with all that in there? Have a buddy sit in the driver seat then measure.

If you swap the fronts you'll just be high on the right side, me thinks, but maybe worth a shot. Did you ask Toytec?

I'll probably call them this week. I was thinking that if I was an engineer and had to even out a vehicle that didn't weight the same I would take a little off one side and add a little to the other and not take all of it out on one side...I don't know anymore...
