Front Spring Different sizes

One of my front springs is about a quarter of an inch longer than the other.
(I cant remember which side was which) Does anyone know what side the longer one goes on?

I just replaced a set of springs and I think the long spring was marked as the drivers side spring.

If I had to guess I would say the longer spring goes on the passenger side to compensate for the engine not being centered. On my F-250 CS the passenger side spring is actually a larger wire size.
