OME Rear Spring Side Question (5 Viewers)

[Boston Mangler]

Hey All

Seen some posts saying with the 200 series, old man emu springs, install TALLER spring on PASSENGER side.

This confirmed correct?

I’ve installed tons of OME kits (not on a 200) and it was always, tallest on driver side, and the reasoning was the weight of the driver, I think anyway

Anyone have a link to confirm for 200s, the taller goes on the pass side?

Thanks

Taller is on the passenger side.

Taller is on the passenger side.

Thanks.

Think I’m gonna swap in the 2721s in the rear tomorrow to compensate for about an inch of sag since Installing drawers, fridge, tools

Hrmm. I'm not sure the difference in height (and I think spring rate) is only about weight. There's asymmetry in the rear because of panhard geometry but probably more so driveshaft torque. May want to consider spring trim packers to get leveling dialed in for payload.

EDIT: Ah, reading comprehension error as I thought you were talking about swapping spring side to side. Versus swapping out both rear spring for OMEs.

Yes

Currently have the full Bilstein kit front and rear with their regular duty springs in rear

Was perfect unloaded but now sags in rear

I’ve had a set of 2721s in the garage for just this as I expected it.

But will see if it’s enough.

@sdnative build is very similar to mine and this is the combo he’s running and seems good
