Does the shocks also need to be swapped or only the Coils?
Your Zook looks like I imagined it would so yeah.

Thanks again for the help Dirtydogz!

Yes mate the longer ones go on the front, if one of the front springs is a little longer than the other that go on the drivers side, no just the springs.

Dirtydogz, you are a legend mate!
Need to now hear what the installer has to say! :angry:
Probably not going to be able to do it tomorrow but I'll post feedback.

OK. I climbed under the Jimny and had a good look.
The installer definitely made a mistake. Long coils are in the back. Then i saw 2 tags still on the coils that was installed in the front. Googled the part number and indeed. "150kg - constant load bearing - REAR COILS"
Phoned up the installer and said that they def made a mistake as that part number needs to be in front and i must bring it in for them to correct. I'll be taking it on Monday.

Is there ANY way they could have made a mistake with Shocks as well?

No Nox the the shock are different as in the photo.






And you can the different in the length of the springs.
Sounds like money back time from the fitter, for the time you wasted going back for a second time. ;)
