The tall ones should go in the back.
But push on them on the ground, The stiffer ones go in the front.
most of the time the stiffer ones are shorter.

tall goes in front. the engine has more weight and the springs need to compensate for carrying the load by making the spings taller so you dont bottom out.

I have Pro-Kits on my car. I Put the tall ones in the back.
It sits 1/2 in LOWER in the back than in front.
The short springs wouldn't even fit the back shocks. (about 2 in to short)
Did you two ever bother looking at a set of stock springs??
The back ones are taller.
The back use taller springs because it have more travel.

The tall ones go on the back. They should be taller, but have more give when you push down on them. Take a look at stock ones and you will see..also, amny have a R or F in the aprt number signifying Front or Rear.
