I just had a OME lift installed on my FJ62. I noticed yesterday that it seems to be sagging to the left a little. It wasnt sagging before the work was done. I'm going to call the shop that did the work tomorrow, but wanted to get your guys input.

Nice high roof cruiser! What country is it from? Is it an auto or manual?
Did the shop put the "A"-marked rear spring on the driver's side?

I'd say the shop owes you an explanation. Even "cruiser lean" shouldn't be that much that fast.
Yeah, the A-spring. OME gave the rear spring for the drivers side a bigger arc, to compensate for the weight of the driver. So it should be a little bit higher at the drivers side when your not in it. But even if they put the A-spring at the wrong side, it looks to me like it's leaning way to much.
Didn't the previous owner do something stupid with the suspension brackets, like in my case? Is it a new suspension? If not, count the leafs at both sides and look if they are different.

Hey Mango, my HJ60 looked just like that, it was 2" higher on the passenger side. I swapped rear springs left to right and it got alot better. Now driver side is only 1/2" higher and seems to be getting better with age. The springs are OME heavy with the rear driver side showing(+) Aloha!

Thanks for all the info. The suspension is new, I'll check out if the A is on the driver's side in the morning. Hopefully the shop will fix this, and I'll post new pics!
The A nd B spring thing is an ongoing saga. I ended up with two As because it would never get level with one of each.
I just put in OME mediums. leaf 'A' on the drivers side (also noted with a + for slightly taller).
Mine is a bit higher on the driver side. Supposedly this is normal 'cruiser lean'. looking forward to getting on a trail to break in the springs a bit.
Also, seems to me most of the weight of the 2F motor is a bit left as well (although the tranny/tcase is a bit to the right). SO maybe if you have the stronger spring on the right, and more weight in the left... you could exaggerate 'normal' cruiser lean.
Good luck... fine tuning after the lift seems to be the tricky part.
