    Question What is the difference between L&R in coils?

    Got some 2" raised king springs (second hand 3 months old) the front ones have an ID sticker with Left and right but the rear ones are stickerless. Is there a difference and if there is how do you tell?

    Usually the RHS one is slightly longer however of the 7 or 8 sets of springs I have bought over the years the only ones that I could tell the difference with were some arb ones.

    Best if free length of RH spring is about an inch longer - over time the RH spring sags more than the left.

    Dawg!

    Kings do Sided front springs (one will be longer - Driverside)
    However they're rears arent sided.

    Easiest way is to sit them on the garage floor and fit the slightly taller one to the drivers side!

    Dont worry about an inch of difference, that would make the vehicle lean something shocking The most aftermarket springs are 'sided' is 10mm.

    Cheers

    I recently installed King springs front & rear.
    Both sets were labelled left/right, and the right springs were taller.
