I didn’t take the trans apart. Probably should have being that far into it though

No lean yet. And I agree, typically driver side unless necessitated by some other reason. I will also have my spare tire on that side. I’m wondering if although marked +, the - spring is actually stiffer. Just need to take them off and see.

Planning on taking them off and checking. Then I can flip my shackles also 😉

O Oh lol

Great question. But I did check that.

lol should have thought of that. I just put it on a floor jack and lifted the rear frame with it. Worked, slowly
