drooping to right

Post by PJ.zook »

Has anyone had any problems with the sierras leaning to the right (drivers side). Its not a flat tyre or anything as looking at the front the axles are still level, but the body has a pretty noticable lean.
Ive had a bit of a look around and cant see anything.
Could it be springs? Do you just measure them to the chassis to see if they match or...
Im a fat bastard but i didnt think i could bend even a zook lol

I'm not skinny either :)
Plus tank and spare on same side.
Plus torque twist of driveline is on the right too.

I use heavy duty springs on front and back drivers side, and standard on both passenger sides.

Im thinking of getting 2 standard rear springs from Ironman, using them up the front (was going to do this mod anyway) and adding an extra leaf from the old front springs into both the right hand springs. This sound like it will work?
(Yes i know Ironman arent the best but i can get them cheap)

be careful with the ironman springs, i had all sorts of troubles with them! Try beltons.

Also most springs are marked for the ones to go on drivers side they have more of an arc to allow for the weight. You can see it when you lay them next to each other. Dont forget that aswell as the spare, fuel tank, driver, the battery aswell is on that side ;)
I also added 15mm extra on front shackle when i made extended ones,to drivers side to compensate for lean.
