Sup All!
I just received my OME HD for my WK, but want to make sure I only install this once ;) and I still can't find the best info around - dont even have instructions! Please help set me straight:

The front and rear shocks/struts look universal, meaning I just install them on either side or are there certain sides to pay attention to (obviously fronts are fronts and rears are......before anyone throws that wisecrack out there :))? I see some different numbers, but not sure if they mean anything.

Springs: I know the front/rear thing, but see the "A" label. Reading through threads, I dont see clear info on which one goes where. Can anyone give me good info? I've heard that "A" goes on driver side, then someone mentioned Aussie's use the other side.....blah, blah..... thanks!! :D

I used 'A' on the drivers side and 'B' on the passenger side. It sits nice and level.

For both front and rear?

The front I don't think there's a difference, at least I didn't notice. Just the back that I know of.

I was actually mentioning to someone today that you're from STL :) (GF is on here too :) ) I'm in St. Charles (Page extension area).

About 20-25 mins west.

The front 2 coils have the same part number. They will fit either side.

I accidentally put rear coil "A" on the passenger side. I will reverse it pretty soon.

Does the driver side really weigh more even with an empty tank of gas?

Thanks for the reply guys!!! Tackling this tomorrow....based on your info, should go pretty smoothe (fingers crossed).

Acid - I appreciate the offer and would love to hang and talk Jeeps somtime! I have a few (umm....friends) suckers helping me out, so should be good, but thanks again!! Me and my GF are both Jeepers and drinkers....let us know....we'll head down by you...maybe hit up Schlafly's ;)
