OME spring installation question...

[FastOlds]

I finally got the OME springs I ordered (backordered). They are going in tomorrow. The only question i have is- Which rear spring goes where? They are labeled 906-A and 906-B. I remember reading about how the rear springs are different because of the gas tank, and I want to do this one time only.

I took a few before pics and took measurements. I'll figure out how to post the final results when i get them.

Thanks- I hope i can get an answer by morning...

put the taller one on the side of the fuel tank

906-A should be taller and goes on the fuel tank/driver side as Bruce mentioned.

Thanks- i didn't actually compare the height of them- but i'll make sure to do that today!

Well, I installed them yesterday and using Trekmasters shocks, the ride is much better. I don't hit my head on the rear hatch when it's open anymore either! The measured height went from a little over 34 1/2"- 35 1/8" to a 36 3/8"- 37 1/4". That makes me happy. I haven't decided if i need to put 1" spacers in the back, as it still sits close to level, if not a little high in the front. But i did install 6 cyl springs into a 4 cylinder one, so I was kinda figuring on that.

Where's the best place to get 1" rear spacers that fit on OME 906 springs?

If it stops raining today, I'll try to get some pics of the "after"
Thanks for all the help

Glad you like the setup and I would expect it to sit a bit higher than normal in the front if you only have a 4cyl in there. I'd wait about a month or two before you decide how much you need in the rear because both front and rear springs will settle a bit. A few companies sell the 1" spacer for the rear or you can upgrade to 890's and sell your 906's to someone else (I guarantee you won't any issues getting rid of them later).

One place you can get the 1" spacer:
