i just got off the phone with skunk2 and they told me the longer springs go in the front cause the drivetrain will cause the springs to compress and the shorter springs go in back. you think thats right lol? i know its their product and im sure they know what they're talking about but i want to be 100% sure b4fore i go and do this.

Just look at your stock springs to compare. Usually the taller springs go in the front.

Are you using the stock shocks? Do you have a spring compressor?

stock shocks should be good for awhile i had them on my 4 door for a good while and they rode fine, but i would definitely upgrade asap. as for what goes where like skunk 2 said the longer ones go in front.
