Why are the coils sitting differently on the driver vs passenger side?

Anyone know why the coils are sitting in different places compared to the shock? On the drivers side the top of the 4th coil is sitting flush with the top of the shock. On the passenger side the bottom of the 4th coil is sitting flush with the top of the shock? Are the side specific to compensate for driver and fuel tank?

 

I could be wrong but it just looks like the coils are rotated to show different sides from your perspective. That is assuming the coils were installed correctly with the proper side down. Did you install them?

 

You're really overthinking this. The coils aren't measured that way. The spiral isn't even mounted with the same orientation on each side. Relax and cease fire on the "HELP" in the title for when you need, not when your OCD kicks in. You are good to go with what I can see in the photos, no issues.

 

oh I see what you’re talking about!

 

Please change the title, you don't need "HELP!"..... You need advice on installation of 5100's

 

yeah the coil is just rotated. Just noticed that. Thank you.

 

no worries!

 

@JaCado help and advice are functionally identical. The title is fine

 

Nope... not here.
"Help!" Titles are reserved for those that are stuck, stranded or bleeding.

 

@JaCado Fair point. I see what you mean!

 

them being clocked wrong won’t affect the height will it? My passenger fender is 7 1/2” above tire. Driver fender is 7” above fender.

 

Sounds about right for the taco lean on the drivers side.

 

So I need to add a 1/4” spacer on drivers side?

 

If you want, or live with the lean. Or set the driverside clip on the 5100 one notch higher than the passenger

 

yes.
or lose about 50 lbs and only keep 1/4 tank of gas in it.

If you get the spacer, remember you will need longer tophat bolts.

 

yeah I want to avoid that. I hated putting these things together. I don’t wanna take them apart haha
