is there a fix for uneven spring arc? ome

[gettocruiser]

one of my (mostly new) ome springs has less arc than the other. is there a fix for this? do i have to get my springs re-arced?
the 40 has the lean. shackle angle is different as well.
thanks for the input,
eric

Hi All:

Which "corner" of the truck is lowest? OME offers a "trim packer" to help level out the leaf suspension.

Have you contacted ARB-USA yet to ask for technical assistance with this issue?

Regards,

Alan

Do they come with an 'A' & 'B' rear spring like they do on the 60s? I had the same problem and ended up running two 'A' springs. Now it sits level and corners the same during left and right turns.

I called the ARB customer service and after jumping through a few hoops, they sent me a free 'A' spring.

it sits lower on the driver's side i wondered if the weight of the drive caused the spring to flatten out more. if so would switching them slowly correct the problem. i'm not excited about swapping springs but oh well...

Land Cruisers, FJ40's ESPECIALLY Lean.
It's an immutable law of nature.
Like Gravity.
You can spend alot of time, money and effort to 'correct' this only to have the truck start leaning a few years down the road. Save yourself the time and money and run it the way it is. Spend the time and money on other upgrades and modifications that are much more worthwhile.

Just put adjustable coilovers on each corner and turn the driver's side a few extra times.

There is actually a Toyota part number to fix the lean. it's a small leaf just a bit longer than the perch itself.
