70 series slants to one side

[jimy2]

Hi all
I have a Q an have been asked this question by some1 else I have we have noticed that our 71 series are lower on the left hand side than they are on the right hand side put in mind we drive L/H hear I have checked on the 76 and 79 same thing.
Mine is front and rear aprox 1/2 inch even after installing the lift kit and I made sure to install the correct sides as mentioned.

But I cant get my hear round it I mean the unhinge is not offset it dead smack in the measles the diffs hub is on the R/H side so why is lower on the L/H what cause the offset .

Do you guys who drive on the R/H side have the same effect as to us but on the R/H .

Pls input as this is driving me round the bend as I would I like to know why I know it's a quick fix but I doubt that the steering Column and the rest that causes this could be to give the driver easy access to the car !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do a search, this topic has had a ton of discussion. I had the same issue with my RHD BJ74 using a 2 1/2" OME. It sat high on the drivers side by 3/4". In the end I pulled the rear leaf packs apart and mix and matched the leafs until they sat almost even when measured sitting upside down on the work bench. It's been a few years now and over 50 000km and the truck is still sitting level

After installing an OME lift in my LJ78 I got at least a 1" lean to the driver's side (RHD). I don't like it, but I live with it.

I would swap the coils / leafs to the other side..
Depending on where you got your lift kit from... Will depend on what side they added a bit of length the the coils / leafs to compensate for the driver......

Many have tried swapping the leafs fro
Side to side with the same predictable results. It leans the other way, lol.

One of the problems with springs is that its hard to get the spring rate exactly the same on all 4 corners and allow for the drivers weight as well.

Its not just a symptom of a weak spring in one corner,it can also mean that the one diagonally opposite is stronger and pushing up,forcing the other down.

Yeah I did try swapping the springs round but the problem was still there but remained on the same side I just think its the way the truck is built I even put in a Teflon spacer I made at work to compensate for the slant as I said it doesn't bother me much as I have grown used to it I just wanted to know if R/H cars had the same problem and now I know it's across all 70 series thanks guys for the quick replies
Much appreciated
