Front leaf spring install.what end forward?
So I picked up a pro comp kit today for the new X and noticed the front springs are diff at each end. One end has an additional wrap over it.
Now it might be obvious when I start yankin things apart tomorrow but I figured I might ask to know ahead of time if it isnt clear.
thanks

It will be OBVIOUS when you start unbolting, if you have room, I take and put the springs on each side, FACING the correct direction, and the parts for each side, have fun, the springs get heavy by the time you get to the rear!

On mine the double looped end looks to go towards the front , also mine has a bigger bolt in the double loop end of the spring , I have my springs on the garage floor to be installed today , Craig.
