Zoltan had the same problem as you. He had lots of lift from parabolic springs, bugger all articulation, but he changed over to flat springs, drop hangers and packers between the springs and the diff to get the lift back. Now you should see that 83 flex!! Very impressive

It dont have that bad'er articulation. The only problem with mine is there is hardly any weight over the back axle and that limits it a heap!! A water tank will be going under the tray soon. The front suspension works well, but it leans - which sucks!! :x :x :x :x

Snafu

Luxes are prone to leans. The tourque of the engine they say does a bit. Though they DO make one higher than the other.

I notice that after a heavy trip they change too...they sometimes lean & sometimes not. Depends on how it feels on the day :roll:

If you don't wanna buy new ones...what you can try is to maybe swap the fronts around & wait for a month to see if it levels out. You might also have them the wrong way around. You never know.

The other thing you can do is to cut up some spacers from an old leaf spring pack & combine it under the drooped leaf & bolt it together with your leaf spring locating bolt. You might need to source some longer ones though. Depends on how much you pack under the leaves.

I'm due for an adjustment but i can't do too many anymore cause the high steer starts to bind on droop with the leaves. Because I run such flat leaves i need a bit of help with clearance as the drop hangers keep hanging up. (44's would fix that...heheheh :P )

Hope than helps

Cheers
Zol
