    Can someone here let me know how I can tell stock sport front springs apart from each other. I took my 5100's and coils out but forgot to note down which side was which. Each coil has a different color marking on it. I need to know what color is the driver and passenger side.

    I'm selling the 5100's so I want to at least let the buyer know which side is which.

    Can someone please chime in? One has a pink/dark blue marking and one has a yellow/light blue.

    Thanks in advance

    Anyone? Are the stock coils side specific?

    Crap!, sorry don't have an answer for you but I just realized I replaced mine today and didn't keep track of what side they came from.

    Hope someone answers.

    Went and looked, mine have same colors, the Pink and Blue are on drivers side.

    Guessing they changed the colors, because that thread is referring to different colors. I did a few searches, didn't see any info for newer than '13 trucks or anything with our color combos.

    If you're close to a dealership you could stop and look at some other '14's

    Yeah will probably do that tomorrow, they probably don't want me crawling around under the trucks with a flashlight, at 11 at night.

    Just hoping someone with stock set up could take a look at theirs.

    Didn't get a chance to go by the dealership.

    Anyone with a newer SR5 or Sport that can take a look at their springs to see what the Color Codes are on them?
    Should be 2 color dots of paint on each coil.

    Thanks for the help guys, I originally installed them with Blue/Yellow Driver side. The passenger side still looked to tall...aprox .7" higher. I swapped sides and put the Blue/Pink on the Driver side and ended with the same result.

    The driver side will always be lower, referred to as the "taco lean" be cause the battery and gas tank are both on that side of the vehicle
