Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I need to address the leaning in my Rocky. BUT I can't afford at the moment to buy new leafs all round.

I need to replace the bushes anyway, so while I had the springs out. I was going to swap the springs left to right as they seem to be the same (the locating pin seems to be in the middle of the leaf). At least that way I can get the lean to even out in the short term. Can anyone see any problems?

Also, I was thinking about resetting the springs. Is this a good option? Worth the money? Any good recommendations in western Sydney

I just had a quick look through the Rocky manual and it says the RH front spring should be 105+-4mm and the LH 89.5+-4mm when out of the vehicle lying on the ground (figures for RHD spec F75.) So they are not the same.

The rears appear to both be the same.

Which way is it leaning? Towards the left?

It's leaning to the driver's side

It's leaning to the driver's side

They just about all lean to the drivers side. At this very moment, my Rocky sits in the front yard, front springs out. I did a temp replacement of the rears with Nissan C20 van springs. Now I am going to build a set of fronts out of all 4 springs. The rears appear to be a bit longer than the fronts, as I was using one of the rears in the right hand front, but the shackle was sitting against the chassis. I am going to use the front mains, and build spring packs using leaves from the rears. I may even put an extra leaf in the right hand pack to combat the lean.
I theorise that they lean toward the driver side because of the weight of the battery, offset transfer case, and fat ass drivers all being on the right hand side. Mine is worse with the dual batteries.
I forgot to mention, the springs in mine were Ironman, which are a waste of my hard earned cash.

The reason I was asking which side it was leaning is because only RHD Rockys have the front springs different. LHD Rocky front springs are both the same.

They obviously didn't do too good a job with the higher RH side spring. I wonder how long it would last if you got it reset? There was a thread in General 4WD tech on resetting them a while back.

If ya getting realy adventurous you could meassure what length ya need and then emasure the length of other cars leafs and go make up a custom leaf pack. get some better flex possibly. the previous owner of my truck (85 f75) had fitted lifter springs that were too stiff for travel, so i changed a couple of leaves and now they work much better

I'm driving a F85 too and currently mine is leaning to the driver side slightly.
But then again have to bear in mind that the springs been on the car for 15 years though suspension travel and ride is still decent and sag is minimal and surprisingly still outperforms so call Rainforest Challenged prepared rigs at times. Hehehe.
Btw my springs is an experimental set from Ultimate Suspension, btw does this oz company still in existence?

The lean is a rocky trademark so im told. mine was leaning a bit before i redid my leaf packs. when i did mine i got heaps more travel out of it, so much taht my OME shocks are too short both ends and i need a body lift cause my tyres hit too just ned the funds
