I think I see the answer to my question now that I just married the undercarriage to the body.....automotive assembly line here, overhead cranes, robots, dip painting...........
The Jeep is so narrow that there isn't room for the front differential between the front springs so the engine has to be offset from center to the driver's side allowing room. Therefore on the passenger side you have the diff, and you may or may not have a passenger. On the driver's side hopefully you have a driver and you have a good part of the weight of the engine and tranny. The transfer case is mostly on the pass. side but is about "amid ship" so it's weight is proportioned between both axle springs. So I guess that explains why you need a little tougher spring on the driver's side, front spring.
This model is built by Tamiya in Germany and the quality and detail is superb as with most of their models. I can't tell you how much fun this particular model is to build, being the MB Jeep, wherein you are right there with each component, making it all go together and obviously it worked, looking at how simplistic and rugged it is, yet functional. Really beats cabin fever. Might try it some time. You just (as I found out) might like it.
