    I bought a set of new-used coilovers, but they are not marked by side. They are painted differently as one is supposedly a bit longer to fix the taco lean.
    Can anyone please look and tell me what colors you have on the springs?!

    Taco lean is usually corrected with a 1/4" spacer added to the top of the assembly, whichever one has that on it is for the driver's side.

    Photo would be helpful. My lift had a 1/8 spacer thing at the bottom of the spring seat for the driver side lean. Get us pics and we can possible see the difference and help you for your specific setup.

    Sorry I'm such a rookie at this. As you can see, by the mounting studs, they can only go in one way. Green/red is drivers side.
    Ty all for patience.
