Does anyone know the markings arb use on old man emu springs for drivers and passenger side?

I seem to remember choppy's having a plus and a minus, both mine have a plus...

The drivers side will be the taller one when you put them side by side...

Thats it!
I was told that.......
+ Means its above spec (rated load)
0 Means its spot on spec
- Means its abit below spec

So you put the + on the drivers side to help prevent the "Sierra Lean". Mine still lent abit after a week so I put a extra leaf out of the old pack into the rear drivers side corner.

so arb don't cater for the lean? I thought they had a specific left and right spring.

I have two plus's. Should I take one back and get a minus or just put the taller one in and hope for the best?
