    So here's my question for anyone that has installed a OME leafpack in their truck. Before I ask my question I got them used off another forum member so I can not look at instructions and he wasn't sure about which leafpack went to each side because a shop did the work for him. So on one leaf pack there is a circle with an arrow and on the other leaf pack there is a plus sign with an arrow. Now I need to know which side is the driver and which is the passenger since that's what I'm assuming they are marked as. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    The + goes on the Driver/fuel tank side. The O goes on the passenger side. There are arrows pointing to the front.

    My Driver side leaf going in, front on the left.

    When dakars are built, they get tested. If they’re right to specifications, they get a O. If slightly stiffer a +, and slightly softer a -

    Consumers get the leafs at random. So if both the same, doesn’t matter. If ones firmer than the other, the rule of thumb is put it drivers side to help with the gas tank.

    Thank you for the help. Def makes sense to put the stiffer one on the gas tank side
