cruiser lean and other questions

Post by trev1 »

Still doing up my 47 series cruiser ute and I have a few questions. It still has the "cruiser lean". Is this all in the springs or are there other things at play? I want a pretty good ride ( at least as good as I can get) and was looking to keep the leaves. What I was thinking of was to go for some light springs for the rear and use airbags for load carring ( I already have them ) the front I was going to go standard rate. I am only looking to go 2" lift as I am trying to build a tourer more than a serious truck.
Am listening intently for your opinions.

Front spring packs have a drivers and pass side pack, as there is consistantly more weight over the drivers side it has a stiffer pack and/or another leaf to deal with the lean you talk about.

If the drivers side sags a little you can put another leaf in.

Or cut a old leaf down to around 150mm and add it to the pack to add the height in the thickness of the spring you add, but it won't change ride performance between the 2 front packs. This option would be preferable over adding another whole leaf.

putting it in a different way, will I fix the "landcruiser lean" with a new set of springs and who does the best riding 50mm lift springs for a 47 series landcruiser??

Try Dobinsons or Lovells suspension, though Lovells is rather pricey. I have heard that EFS goes ok for cheaper stuff too. If you are going lifted springs, check to see if the leaf packs are longer than stock, or it'll be really rough. New springs will stop the lean, for a while at least. :)
