Driver side leaning.

[landcruiser888]

Front suspension is leaning more on the driver side. My setup is dobinson springs. Heavy duty up front for the added winch and arb bumper. But i notice that the driver side is leaning. Can i swap the driver side leaf spring to the passenger side? Will that cure the problem?

I've noticed that most, if not all, aftermarket spring companies do this, I assume it is to level the truck when the driver is in? I am waiting for a set of Dobinson and hope they don't do this, will see. My current set up leans also, don't know what brand.

Im thinking of swapping the front leaf spring maybe it will cure the leaning? Australia is RHD mine is LHD maybe thats the reason?

I have the same thing with OME, drove me fxxxing nuts. After dicking around, I took it to a spring shop and the guy fixed it rather cheap. re arched them a lil, to even it out. I never take my vehicles to mechanics, but after swapping springs and having the same result I was quite annoyed. So I made an exception, they did it in no time. and it was cheap.

I assume it was due to being made for RHD and my truck being LHD, but then swapping the sides should work. Mine leaned either way, so who knows, didn't do that with the 30 year old factory springs. I know the old guy at the shop wasn't to thrilled with the OME leafs, he may have just been a miserable guy tho (maybe low blood sugar or he needed to take a good s***), cause I always thought they were pretty stout and I've had em on the truck 10 years and that was my only issue.

Anyway good luck! P.S. how's ur truck feeling in 4WD after the lift?
