Default OME 2 inch lift question

Quick question. I have a 11 sport. Just bought OME 2 in lift and since it comes with no installation manual I need to know where the springs are installed. I ask this because both the rear and front springs have 1 spring that is slight taller. My question is where does the taller spring get installed. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

The ome springs come like this?... I would say passenger side to make up for the camber in the roads as we drive on right hand side...

You ma just have one spring that is wound a little more tight. If its only a little (like 1/8") I wouldnt be so worried about it.

I would say passenger side also,but my guess is because of the fuel tank.

Fuel tank is correct. Did you get the track bars as well? I'm completely on the fence about ordering this kit...can you let us know how you like it once it's installed??

follow the project jk guide, makes it wicked easy. also remember on the front coils to make sure you seat them in the groves. i had already put my tires back on when I realized I hadn't, added alot of time to fix. and good luck with those rear coils. those things are nuts.

You'll love the ride once it's done though, its so nice. a bit flighty on the highway, but nothing a winch or some adjustable control arms wont fix

Agreed. I did mine in under 4 hours by myself. I have put over 30K miles on my OME lift and it has sagged less than 1/2" over the past 2 years, even after adding armor. I did get some inital deathwobble, but adj track bars (super beefy compared to stock) fixed that problem. I added the adj front upper and lower control arms about a year post lift and now my geometry is spot on perfect.
