880/906 question

I just got my 880/906 OME springs yesterday. I see that the 880's are marked "A" and "B" the "A" spring is slightly taller than the "B".

Is the "A" spring the drivers side?

I have a 5mm trim packer. Should I put it on the drivers side?

I also have two 10mm top out spacers. Should I use them? Or will they make my butt hang low? Will using these spacers endanger my CV joints?

Thanks for the help.

I believe the 880's (fronts) should be the same, the 906's (back) should have one spring that is taller (drivers side). If you have a slightly longer front, put in on the driver side.

Measure your rig with the stock springs, if you have side that is lower before the new springs it will probably be lower after the new springs (mine was). If it is in the range of 5mm then use the trim packer.

My rig was pretty level with 881/906, the 10mm spacers would have raked me slightly forward, however the lighter 880's would probably be level with the 10mm spacers, you will need longer bolts when you reassemble the strut.

Your CV's should be OK with the 10mm spacers on 880's.

So you used a 5mm trim packer?

I have the longer bolts. I just don't want to put the spacers in and then have to take them back out. Although I suppose it wouldn't be that big of a deal since I wouldn't have to disassemble the stut again. The trim packer is a different story, I only want to screw with that once.

Where did you get your lift from? The best thing to do (if you haven't installed it already) would be to call the dealer and ask what to do with all of the hardware they sent you. I have 881's and 906's and I didn't have to do spacers or trim packers. If someone is selling a kit like that, they will be the best resource for you to get your info from.
Good Luck!
