coils on wrong side.

I just installed my sonoran steel 1.2 lift on my 97 4runner limited. I accidentally installed the passenger side front spring on the drivers side. Am I going to run into any problems? Should I go through the trouble to pull out the front suspention and switch them, or will it be fine to run them how they are? Thanks.

I think i rmember reading somewhere the drivers side has a bit higher spring rate because of the gas tank and the drivers weight...
If you notice it sagging on the drivers side then youll need to swap em...
If not, You should be ok..

Sounds correct to me. Thats what I've read and talked about with a few of the techs at the Toyota dealership I used to work at. It was kind of funny when I found out, but it makes sense.
