i would suggest fitting them & see if it is leaning to the passenger side & find a nice bumpy road take it for a drive & see if it settles down if not get a spacer to fit on the passenger side.
cutting the spring is not the best idea use that as a last resort or if your not happy with the springs contact the company you got them from & see what they can do to sort it out as they might be able to send you another spring to match

yeh, fit longest to driver front and use for a week or so, then see if you need a spacer.

Thanks for all the tips guys!
I will update when fitted.
At the moment I'm without a garage, so it will probably take a while.. Not tempting doing it in the snow.

Interesting thread!
I own a LHD jimny as well fitted with "king springs" springs.
The springs, which are made in australia, comes as well with one longer spring but as opposed to the procomp kit, the longer spring is fitted in the back. (according to the installation instruction).
I dont remember which side it is but i promise to give it a check and update.
anyhow, when the stock springs came out they were identical in each side - FR=FL and RR=RL. - what is your experience with a RHD jimny?
i was sure the car would lean sideway after fitting the king springs but surprisingly it did not.
Maybe the longer spring has to do with the origin of the springs...RHD cars as well

Hi Ranster. Where are you from, since you drive LHD?
Would be apprechiated if you would check which side you put the longest. It's a strange issue, I get the feeling of different answer based on different cars and suspention manufactering. I think LHD = FR=FL and RR=RL originally, but will measure mine when they come off.
The strangest thing is that some say longest spring is for driver sides front, and some say its for the rear.
