    Fixing to install a new set of leaf springs and rear shocks but the leaf springs do not have a + or - sign on them to mark the front and rear. How can I be sure they are facing the correct way?? I'd rather not have to install them more than once, lol, These spring are 2 inches longer so I'm not sure about measuring them either. The clamps are a little different but I was thinking the main clamp should go on the same side of the axle as the originals, Is this correct? Any help would be greatly appreciated

    The military wrap goes towards the front. In the picture below, it’s the right side. It’s where the second leaf also wraps around the busing eye. The single wrap is the rear of the spring.
