    Hey all, I'm finally getting around to having my stock OEM leaf springs put back on the truck (I'm returning it to stock). I know they are side specific (yellow markings go on driver side) but what about the orientation? Like which end goes towards the front? I'm not installing these, but I'm not sure if the installer will know since they are Jeep specialists... and I'm trying to be proactive.

    Writing is towards the front on mine. Passenger side is the same, Mexico towards front.

    Usually the front spring eye and bushing are larger than the rear. My truck isn't handy or I would go out and look to see if that is true for the Tacoma.
