Cruiser lean with new stock height springs and shocks (2 Viewers)

[tampacruiser95]

I searched the forums and didn't see anyone with this issue on an 80 series.

The shocks (Bilstein) and springs (OME) are brand new, but I never noticed any lean with OEM shocks/springs. Any ideas what the issue could be or how I could correct it?

Swap them side to side. Longer goes on the DS

Thank you, I am assuming you mean the springs?

Yes. There is a good write-up on here somewhere that explains about the different height springs. Something about OME being from Down Under and what not.

Correct.

This fixes in 99% of the time. If they just won't level in any configuration some have resorted to something like a 10mm coil trim spacer.

Switch the rears not the front

Yeah I measured from the tire to the top of wheel well, and rear passenger is the greatest distance. So switching those springs will hopefully do the trick.

If you search springs with user: Romer

He posted a bunch if IIRC - been 4-5-6 years.

Thanks a lot, that's helpful. I assume the coils are stamped "A" and "B".

Don't think stamped. New they just had a A & B sticker on them. Used, well that sticker is typically long gone so need to measure the length.

You all were right, the coil springs on the front were flipped, causing the slight lean.

Would you mind posting a few photos now that you have the issue resolved? I'm considering going from stock to your setup in the new year. Thanks.
