"7. IMPORTANT. In the US, with left hand drive vehicles, we install the DS springs on the PS and visa versa. The springs are labelled for the right hand drive vehicles. If you can not locate the labels, or you have used springs, make sure you mark the springs that you remove from your vehicle and match long with the long and the short with the short springs. "

In other word compare the old. You do remember which came from which side?

Hope this helps

the taller ones go on the left side.
Here in the USA, that would be the driver's side.

The springs used to be labelled DS and PS. This confused people because it was AUS DS/PS, not USA DS/PS -- with the DS/PS labelling scheme, the PS labeled springs go on the US Driver's Side.

Later springs are labelled RT and LT (or some variation of right/left). In this case the Left labelled spring goes on the US drivers side.

Easier to say that tall ones go on the driver's side.

You'd think the Left/Right thing would make it easier, but I think some over analyzed it and though it was somehow backwards in AUS. Then you get the ones who sit and (while over analyzing) ask Left as you're facing the truck or on the Left side of the truck...

Don't know about some people sometimes...
