OME-BP51 Lean (2 Viewers)

[TLC Big Bertha]

I installed OME BP51 on my 2014 200 series land cruiser.
I have a slight lean 2".
If I disconnect the front sway bar and it reduces to about 3/4".
Anyone else have this issue?
How did you fix?
I do not really want to drive around with it disconnected.
Thanks!

From what I’ve seen on Mud, a side to side lean after suspension install is fairly common. Have you read up on the KDSS and possible fixes?

thank you!

Just talked with Slee, and got the article. They have been great.

on another note/rant.
I wish when you spend the $$$ on these parts that all the instructions would be provided, and in color, and laminated and with a QR code leading to step by step direction video, esp for those of us that are not full time mechanics or mechanically inclined.
I would believe mechanics would also appreciate it.

I only say this as it is what I do for all the products/projects I design professionally.

Not trying to be Captain Obvious, but you should be totally confident that the rear springs are on the correct sides. Taller one should be starboard, US passenger, AUS driver (where your main fuel tank sits). Also, use all best practice for big suspension changes: open KDSS (both) valves no more than three turns before work, don't torque anything down to spec until truck is back on ground, let rest a few hours before tightening up KDSS valves (don't drive on open valves), perform Zero Point Calibration after truck is settled and all tires are inflated to correct recommended cold tire inflation pressure. And whatever you do, don't use a level to confirm levelness. She's gonna lean just slightly, almost always. Don't use the 4x4 wood under the tire trick; that may look like it works for a few days, but KDSS will find its way back.

More importantly, look into PCK bracket. That was a post-BP-51 game changer for me.

Most importantly: add dirt and rock under truck.

I have the BP-51 setup with the same lean. Been there since installed 9/2021. No amount of messing with the KDSS valves has resolved it, so I ignore it.

Agreed on the lack of instructions. At least we have YouTube to find some help. If you think these are bad, you should see how terrible they are for the drawers.

Yes, matched the springs to the correct side.
