After wheelin on the weekend the front right sits about 40 mil lower than the left
So firstly I found the stabiliser bar had lost a bolt and one bent spring. Needed the car so swapped springs with an old set still no good, swapped the ol set side to side and still no good, put a rear set on with extended shackles still the same.
Any help would be great

Re: Sierra leaning
How much do you weigh? 
are doing it with your wallet in or out? 
just get used to it, I am sure the "sierra lean" is engineered from the factory.

Re: Sierra leaning
I and many have had this problem and no perfect cures all you can do is try to move all the weight you can over to the passenger side or add a leaf to both front and rear as I did (I weigh 115kg) or you can just get fatter passengers that should fix it? 
Suzuki Sierra: half the size, half the weight, half the cost & twice the fun :lol: why would you drive anything else?

mine was fine with the old sagged std springs put new 2" lifted OME's in and been leaning ever since tried many solutions swapping leaves etc... but weight on the drivers side is the issue here thats why they lean down on the Drivers side and if your the only one in the car it makes it worse! Shift what you can Battery, Spare anything heavy! Robb.

Re: Sierra leaning
We normally run an extra leaf in the driver's side front as well as moving all the weight we can to the left. Fixes it.
Since I coiled the rear of mine it's terrible

Yeh just learn to live with it, we all have.
Re: Sierra leaning
For some reason havent been able to get on this site. Anyway. I dont agree with all the "just put up with it " So I fixed it. The answer was new 2" front kings which have a RH spring with more height and then swapped the backs over (2" OME) and guess what with no one in its 5mil high drivers side and good when fat bastard gets in.
So I say its all to do with spring combination so get that right and you fix your lean

Re: Sierra leaning
You're not the only one who has fixed it with a different leaf-
Don't be surprised if it still leans over time.

Adding an extra leaf to level the lean is really just covering up the problem. Moving weight around to balance the car better is the real fix, but it's a lot of work. The biggest quick fix is moving the battery under the passenger seat. It helps a lot.gwagensteve wrote:We normally run an extra leaf in the driver's side front as well as moving all the weight we can to the left. Fixes it.

Same thing happens with leafy HiLuxes. All to do with bad weight distribution from factory. The extra leaf does the trick though, but you can't do much more than that with HiLuxes. Not sure about the zook set up though.
Re: Sierra leaning
My old Vit had the same issue when I did the suspension. It's a Zook thing.
