    Alright, this is probably going to be futile, as I've searched, and it sounds like the colors are constantly changing. But here it is:

    I just got my truck back from a frame swap, they installed a new set of 5100's (now set to 1.75", from .85") with new Offroad coils, along with the new rear leafs, etc.

    My "Before" (5100's @ .85") measurements were:

    Driver Front: 21" center of hub to fender

    Pass. Front: 21" center of hub to fender

    Driver Rear: 22" center of hub to fender

    Pass. Rear: 22" center of hub to fender

    My "After" (5100's @ 1.75") measurements were:

    Driver Front: 21.75" center of hub to fender

    Pass. Front: 22.25" center of hub to fender

    Driver Rear: 21.5" center of hub to fender

    Pass. Rear: 21.75" center of hub to fender

    It looks like there are a couple of things going on here:

    One observation is that I went from 10 year old 2+1 leafs, that sat just slightly higher than the 3+1 TSB leafs on there now (I don't know if the front being higher, forces more weight on the rear, causing them to sag more?). At the least, they are no higher than the old leafs. I was expecting them to be +/- 1" higher from everything I've read. So it looks like an AAL is in my future.

    The other observation, and main point is that the passenger side is now 1/2" higher than the driver's side with a 1/4" spacer on the driver's side.

    I'm thinking the coils are swapped. I called the place I bought the parts from, but they didn't have a set in stock to check. So I figured I would check with the hive mind.

    What's on there now:

    Driver's side: Orange/White

    Pass. side: Pink/White

    So if anyone has an Offroad with matching colors, let me know, otherwise, I guess I'll be calling around.

    Anyone else?

    I haven't had much luck calling parts depts. It sounds like mine are reversed, I'll feel a little more confident if I can confirm with at least one other owner.

    The parts guy at my dealership came through, and sent me some pics.

    So, this will probably be more useless information taking up server space, but on the off chance someone can use this, here it is:

    [​IMG]
    Front Left / Driver's side - P/N # 48131-AD231 - Pink/White


    [​IMG]
    Front Right / Passenger's side - P/N # 48131-AD221 - Orange/White

    BTW, this confirms that mine were installed on the wrong sides.
