My OME suspension has a plus sign on one end of leafs and minus sign on the other end, what goes where? and I take it the heavier leaf goes under engine area for the extra weight?

I'm not sure what you are asking here... The short end of the spring (front or rear) go toward the center of the vehicle. I hope this is your answer.
Measure you old springs. All four are not the same. The front have an offset pin, meaning they are not centered in the spring.

??? looking down on the leafs there is a painted plus sign towards one end of a leaf and on the same leaf on opposite end is a painted minus sign? I dont know if the plus sign goes towards front of vehicle or towards the rear?

The military wrap end goes to the hanger end (fixed) not the shackle end.........
Well the front two are the same.
Stock they measure
Front 24 1/2" from the bottom shackle nearest the bumper to the centering pin.
The rear is 24" from the bottom shackle nearest the bumper to the centering pin.
I don't know what " lift you ahave so you measurements may be a little off.

You can also measure from the center pin to each end and the shorter goes to the fixed end..... rule of thumb........
I think i know what he is talking about. see this thread in the 45 section. GREAT install.

so here the pics, does it look right? if it is true that the shortest measurement from the center pin to shackle goes to fixed end then these are correctly installed for that is how they sit right now? looking from the side view it seems that the rearends are a little forward from center? so does that seem correct that they do not sit centered? also, the instructions are very vague, am I supposed to grease the poly bushings? the bushings arent meant to rotae or really move are they? these have greasable shackles so of course those will be greased.
