Hi, just installed a full set of ome leaf springs to my sierra and now its got a very bad lean. (drivers side.) I thought I got medium load 40mm but it didnt really raise it anywhere 40mm if not nothing! I have done a full ruff so ordered 2x sets of rears. Now 3 of them have a '0' marking on them and 1 with a '|'. I put the ''|'' on the passenger front side because I thought it meant minus. (hope this was right?) Was I meant to get 2 with '0' and 2 with '|'?
I have removed the bottom 2 load leafs on all of them too. (3 left in all packs)
The code on leafs are 1AC13.
Also, is the lean mainly cause by the front?
Cheers

In my experience with RUF LWB, playing with the front springs has much more effect on lean than playing with the rears.

I thought OME springs were marked with a '+' on the drivers side spring pack.

The way ome mark there springs is...0 is spot on to there spring free height any thing above is over they normally have a +,- on most of there springs. With ome u should always stand the spring upside down and measure from the ground to the spring were the perch seats .this is called free height then u put the tallest on ur right hand side ,unless the mark a and b on them then a goes to the drivers side .
I would take back a pair and ask for some taller rears. Put the lower ones in the front and the new taller ones in the back ,
