Installing OME 881/906s '974Runner

Hello - I am 3/4 of the way done with my OME suspension install and everything seemed to be going as planned until I got to the fron struts. I installed the 906s in the rear with Airlift air bags and everything went smoothly. I will post pics when done.

The challenge now is that I dropped off the struts at a shop to replace the springs/shock and I wasn't sure if it mattered that they go back exactly as taken off. More specifically, are the fronts (left/right) interchangeable with each other? I can't remember which was which and on one spring I can see the end of the spring on the bottm purch but the other is too deep in the purch to see the actual end of the spring. I really had to stretch the heck out of control arm (and take off the anti-roll bar) to get the driver side to fit. I think It may have needed to go on the passenger side??

I would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks,

Justin

Before/After photos?
what shocks/struts did you go with? I am going to put 99tallrears on, and 98fronts, but need some shocks all around, and maybe eventually go 881/906, can I put the longer travel shocks on now for possibility of future improvement?

If I recall my 881's were identical, the 906's were left/right specific.
