they should install the same way OME or any other rear spring goes in. unbolt the lower shock bolt and sway bar link on both sides of the axle, with the axle supported at the opposite end you are installing the spring, use a hydraulic jack to lower the side you are working on, far enough to pull the old spring and slot in the new one. switch the jack to the other side and support the side you just finished. be careful not to over extend the soft brake lines.
remount the shocks/sway bar links and torque to spec.

Be sure to disconnect the differential breather tube and brake brackets. They are both 12mm and can be accessed before raising the vehicle with the spare tire removed.
longer spring on driver side to account for the added weight of the fuel tank.

Yes longer spring on the drivers side. Wait...why are they coming from Australia? I thought King was a US company based out of CA? Am I missing something??

No, mine were the same length. AHC does the leveling.
I emailed their reps and they said springs are the same. My springs were also identical.
