spring length was created by Terminator

We have just got a 2" lift kit suspension kit. Now 2 of the springs are of equal length and the other 2 have a 1" or so difference in length. Do the equal ones go on the front, and the unequal ones on the rear.Which of the slightly longer spring goes on what side.??

You need to ask the supplier. Some kits have different fronts, some have different rears and some have springs of the same length but with different rates.

Longest one is drivers side, or it was with mine.

Yes, that's right, I lifted my new red Jimny with 4 front springs... 2 on the back -

rear spring on the left, new (front) spring on the right...

new front spring for the front, with a spring spacer on the top...
