Yeah you're talking about an inch of difference there.... did you put both of the struts on the same preload setting?

Both struts are set to 1.5" of lift and fully tightened down!

IIRC the OEM springs adjust for the fuel tank using the front springs (not the rear like OME). If there's a chance you've swapped them side to side, that could cause this. Not sure how you went about your install though.
I didn't know that! Maybe that's the problem because I just grabbed and installed! Does it matter with OME front springs?Originally Posted by Matt

FWIW I did not notice any difference between the front springs when I installed mine and I made sure to check. When I installed rear springs, there was a slight difference but from what I could tell, none in the front.

I only saw a marker on the rear springs on my OME setup to say what side they are needed to be on.

OME front springs are also labeled A and B just like the rears

Yeah im pretty sure the fronts arent side specific for OME. I recall the spec sheet backing that up... only the rears were different.
My front coils were marked A and B just like the rears. The install instructions said place the A coil in the front opposite where you put the A coil in the rear. I installed my fronts years ago though. Maybe the instructions changed

I guess it's changed. I can't find an ARB catalog older than 2012 online. The kits as they come today have the same front springs and different rear springs.
