    I'm currently sitting on OME 884's with 5100's at 0 at all four corners. For the rear I only have the Firestone airbags. My plan was to air up the bags to level the truck despite everybody saying it would be a harsh ride. "I'm young I can deal with it."

    Shit's gotta go.

    I want to put my stock SR5 coils back on at either 0.85 or 1.75 (most likely 0.85) that way I can air my bags back down and not rattle every nut and bolt loose on the truck. After doing some research I discovered the SR5 coils are side specific. However I can't seem to find any information on how to tell them apart. Is there anybody out there that might could lead me in the right direction?

    Here is a pic of my coils. One has two yellow marks and the other has a green mark and a yellow mark.

    Well even though I didn't find the answers I was looking for I thought I would follow up and report back here with my results so anybody in a situation similar to mine in the future can see what I did.

    I compared both my stock springs side by side and when I looked really close I noticed the one with two yellow markings appeared ever so slightly longer. Maybe 1/4". So I put it on the driver's side to help prevent any taco lean (which I've never noticed anyway). I also ended up setting the 5100's at 0.85 which I am very pleased with so far.

    I've only got about 20 miles or so on it since I swapped it back but as of this morning my measurements from the center of my wheels to the top of my fender wells are:
    Front Driver: 21.75"
    Front passenger: 21.75"
    Rear driver @ 12psi: 22.75"
    Rear passenger @ 12psi: 22.75"

    I still need to go get an alignment but already ride quality has improved significantly. Any little bump no longer rattles everything in the cab but it rides more like a truck than stock. I've also got a little more rake than before which is what I wanted so overall I am very pleased.
