2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission my skyjacker d25's aren't marked left or right?!

[TLanier]

just got my skyjacker D25 coils, and they are not marked left or right side as they are supposed to be. how the heck am i gonna be able to tell which spring to put in which side?

i dont wanna send 'em back for crying out loud!

Maybe they can be used on either side? If they are identical in shape and size, one would think they would be universal.

according to this article installing them on a 2nd Gen truck, they ARE side specific:

My D25's were not marked and they got put in 80,000 miles ago and are doing perfectly fine even when I hang the 9 foot Fisher plow on the front. I don't think it's that big of a deal with the bigger springs. Just put them in, you'll love them.

TL, I read the DIY article and if the springs are a MATCHED set, then I can't see why it would make a difference which side they go on. I think I'd take Turbos advice and just install them. Good luck, Mike

Can I use 2. 5in skyjacker lift springs as a leveling kit alone?

DN, you can but will need shocks. I have the D25's with Blistines but you might want to look at Kores springs and the dollar for dollar cost. Mike

According to the Skyjacker instructions I have, "on coil spring part #D50 (for 1/2 tons and 3/4 tons without V10 or Cummins Diesel engines), the coil springs are labeled driver and passenger sideand must be installed on appropiate side. On coil spring part #D45 (for V10 and Cummins Diesel engines) there are not specific driver side and passenger side coil springs. "



I printed these from Skyjackers web site (Page 6, #17)
