Default New springs don't match.

New TF 2 inch lift and the springs aren't even close in length.

More info? The front and rears are not the same length and some brands have different lengths for driver or passenger side..

They should be different lengths between front and rear. I can't remember which ones are longer. If there is a slight variation between the two front and two rear, then as said above, they are sided for Driver and Passenger sides. The longer one would be for the Driver side. That's the way the OME springs are.

They may be labelled if you look closely... FL, FR, RR, RL, etc.

There are multiple 2" lifts from TF, but to answer your original question the driver's and passengers side springs are different lengths due to different weight side to side.

Had this same problem with two sets TF springs. My springs did not have any labels for which corner and Atlantic British didn’t confirm they should be different lengths from left to right yet my measurements were off no matter what side the springs were on. Also swapped the rears with no change and ended up buying another front pair and using the longer spring of the two to fix the discrepancy. At this point got a little pissed and ordered RTE 3” springs. They are still in the boxes and just looked at both fronts and they are same height. So not sure what the right answer is but feel your pain.

Default Front spring specs

The front springs on NAS D1s don't match per spec.
