Dang.. now I'm confused. Did you mean "DS is taller, right"??
Sorry about making that confusing.
Here's some history...which really should be thrown in the FAQ somewhere...
OMEs are from Australia. They were labelled DS and PS, but this was for the Aussie market. It made sense for them and their customers "down-under" because they drive on the wrong side of the road...along with a small fraction of the world's drivers.
Siince our DS and PS are opposite of their's, it became a rule that you simply do the opposite of what the labels say. That was easy.
Then, in an effort to clarify things, OME changed the DS and PS labels to RT and LT (or something similar to indicate right and left). This change seemed to confuse some -- not kidding -- who remembered the old rule of putting the springs opposite of what's labeled.
So...here's what you do with the springs...
if it has a DS/PS label, switch sides and install the PS labeled springs on the U.S. Driver's side. The DS labeled spring would naturally be installed, then, on the U.S. Passenger side.
However, if you have springs with a LT/RT label, you install them on the side indicated -- LT on the Left side (US Driver's side) and RT and the Right side (US Passenger side).
OR...
the simplest method of all...
the taller spring goes on the Left side.
Hopefully this clears it up some.
FWIW, I have a set of OME J springs sitting in the garage -- the fronts are labeled DS/PS and the rears are labeled LT/RT
