    I just got order in after a month of waiting. One spring came weeks ago and the other today. Now.... the first
    One is marked "0" and I specifically told the company I ordered from to make sure the other one would be marked the same and now today I get one marked "+".... i'm waiting to hear back from the company what do you guys think?

    I thought the + meant extra weight. Like your supposed to put that one on your driver side to account for the weight difference of the fuel tank.

    The springs are fine. The + is just over. Put the + on the driver's side and be done with it. No need to replace it or argue about it.

    Correct I know the differences in the markings I'm just asking whether or not to worry about it or not

    .. they're fine.

    Also, they're 80 lbs. Who would be responsible to pay for return shipping on that, and then ship the replacements?

    OME sends them out in 3 configurations, 0, -, +.

    If they were fucked up, they wouldn't be sent out in the first place. Bolt them in and enjoy.

    Luckily shipping is all on them and they owe me big time for waiting this fucking long. Yes I know what the different markings are and what they mean as I said above but again I'm not looking to have two different read it spring rates, meaning one is over and one is dead bells on. Now I know that's not as bad as one being over and one being under.

    I had just the opposite of this dudes experience. I asked for one "0" and the other "+".

    They accidentally sent me 2 sets and all 4 of the leaf packs were "0". My drivers side sits 1/2" to 3/4" lower. LMAO
