Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I put in a 2" lift about two weeks ago and now the drivers side has a considerable sag in it, about 30 mm difference. Have checked over everything and all components look OK. The clamp that is holding the rear leaf pack together is not straight but that is about all that I can see that is wrong. It was sitting even when we first did the lift and I can't see why it is doing this. I weigh less than 80kgs so it is not because of my weight or anything.

Any thoughts?

Have you spoken to the Supplier yet??

Do you have the correct springs in the correct side? There is a difference in the height of the spring perches on the front diff, due to the pumpkin. Also some spring makers increase the rate on the drivers side to account for the battery, the fuel tank weight and most of the time there is only the driver (no passenger) to weigh down the drivers side. There might be a label on the spring pack that states PS or DS. Failing that, a small lift block on the front passenger spring perch can balance it up.

if your in a hilux dont forget you got 70l of fuel on the drivers side just near the rear diff, my rig atm have a big pimp lean as the drivers side springs are to soft

make sure all the ubolts are equally tight, sometimes they need retightening soon after installation. if one set is loose it will make one corner sit abnormally high.

I have already rechecked the ubolts for tightness and the rear drivers side had come loose so they are tight once again.

I was unaware that thermay be different springs for different sides will have to check that out.

Count the spring pack theres usually one extra added for the tank ect.

Bugger!!!


So i have the front ones around the wrong way. What a pain in the arse. The one I have on the passenger side says D/S and the one I have on the drivers side says N/S. What would the N/S stand for? The back ones don't differentiate which side they are on so I guess they are OK.

That gives me something to do over Easter. It took me long enough to get the bloody things on the first time!!!

Thanks for your help guys.

N/S = Nearside??? The side nearest the kerb.

hmmm i have that problem as well but mine leans down towards the passenger side.

Make sure none of your shackles have inverted cause that makes a truck sit lopsided
