1971 FJ-55 Leans to the Left

[nutsaboutsoccer]

I'm working on a 1971 Iron Pig for a friend and it has a very prominent lean to the left. It's been sitting for about 20 years under who knows what conditions (well at least it was inside). Guessing it was loaded with a mis-balanced load all those years - or maybe it is a common problem for the Pig. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

After reading about a dozen threads on this subject, I get the gist of the problem.
Cruiser Lean

I just went through this. My springs are aftermarket and were made to correct the lean. Seems to always be on the left side. For a low buck fix, maybe just put a block under the spring that's sagging.

HUH? wouldn't that make it worse? spring under the axle.

I blame the beer! Sorry, the more I thought about it, I was wrong. It would work on a SOA.

CCOT sells a fix that is just a plate that you put on top of the rear spring on the "high side". That basically lowers the spring on the high side. I don't think I need a "CCOT Kit" to do something that simple.
Thanks,

Sorry for my ignorance about Toyota but if this was my car I would take it to a local spring shop and let them re-arch the springs to give me the stance I wanted, last time I had it done it was around $150 per axle.

Don’t know maybe Toyota needs something magic?

You can do J Mack's advice or put an Overleaf Spring Help and tighten the U bolts when you get the desired height. Cost $40 - $50

Mine does the same thing, on stock springs.

not sure how I'm gonna handle it yet.
