R&R front coilovers

I never do any work without my extra hand , that way I don't have to put down the tools to make the actual gesture, just saying it or yelling it without the actual gesture is usually not enough to make things work in my case...

Nice to have some reinforcement

Scan the QR codes with your phone and see what they say.

Maybe the one on the left was a DEI installer?

The rear shocks had weird colored pencil marks , they all match except the center one... secret Ford code i guess

QC marks I bet.

Finally ! A good use for the crash bars !

Last bolt was a little challenging and needed some tugging to line up the marks but no biggie ...
The hardest part is trying to manipulate everything by yourself, disassembly is easy but a buddy working the jacks and ratchet straps and handing you beer underneath instead of my old ass crawling in and out would make it MUCH EASIER...
test drive later and I guess if I can keep it in the road it's all good ...

QC marks I bet.

Probably, but them not being equally marked has me wondering

I scanned the QR codes for you and here's what came up.

It’s anybody’s guess.

You should wonder.

The springs are side specific:

PN
KB3C-5311-HD - Left
KB3C-5310-DE - Right

I assume it's the placement in the tower and the left might have a stronger spring - for the extra weight (Gas Tank) - if we reflect back on some owners enquiring about the body lean
