Well there’s my problem. One loose spring perch and a flat spring.

Hopefully getting some new springs tomorrow. Will update on the lean when installed.

That'll do it. Which springs did you go with?

A no grade bolt holding the hanger. Man, love me some South/ Central American 40's.......

Well I haven’t purchased yet but I was planning for some pro comps in the 2.5” variety

So it goes! Just glad it is sorted now.

Way to dig into man! Exploration and discovery is where it is at. And don’t let that sass talk about SA 43’s get you down.

the next item you need to justify is pro comp (really) over OME? .............LOL

I'm sure you will, but look at OME's, I've been VERY happy with mine, and have put them on a number of 40's and 60's.

Haha for sure! I love mine too. It’s been a great process to slowly tear it down and making repairs like this. My wallet may disagree though!

I’ll give them a look! If they are as good as people say it may be worth while to wait another week and go for these. What do y’all think about my shackles? Should I go for some anti inversion replacements while I’m at it?

OME is a pretty well designed suspension system for LandCruisers. And I would start fresh, change everything. Springs, bushings, shackles, shocks. The front set up is the same as a 40 so easy to come by. One of the OME venders here can help you with the rear springs.

Ironman 4x4 springs installed up front. Lean fixed from what I can tell!

So I was right!

Where did you source the Ironman springs?

Happy to know that you didn’t have any frame issues!
