Spring packers/spacers, who has 'em ?

[cme4lyt]

I'm trying to solve the dreaded 'Cruiser Lean' on my '93. Shocks and coils are new OME std height and it's made the issue better but I'm still leaning. I have a 18mm difference at the rear and a 6mm difference at the front.

I visited the Man-A-Fre site and Slee and they both show spacers of 30mm which is too big. Anyone have a source for smaller sizes ?

Thanks in advance !

SLEE 1" or iirc 25mm spacer up front and no "sting-bug":

Slee - Toyota 80 Land Cruiser Suspension Spacers

Yep, I did see those... Still a little tall, hoping for a 15mm or a 20mm, maybe something in 5mm steps.

Thanks...

Metal-Tech 1.5" steel spacers. I kept them with the Ironman lift kit. No regrets. Also, no stink bug syndrome.

OME has trim packers in 10mm. I think I got mine from slee or cruiser outfiters a couple of years ago. I was using two on each corner on the front end for a total of 20mm.

Just to be clear, your vehicle is leaning side to side. You ate not talking about stinkbug. Correct?

Yeah, this thread is not about stickbug...rather, leaning side to side....I also have this problem on my 94...I was thinking maybe a combo of load bias (spare and non-svelt me on driverside) and old springs. I was thinking of putting on J's to eliminate worn springs scenario then spacing to fine tune. I have an IPOR bumper w/ single swing arm (read: Semi-heavy) and am adding Hanna Interior Cargo rack +Ultimate air tank and water scepter and installing Kevin's Tailgate storage lid...so I think I made need the J's out back....

use a 5mm ome trim packer in the front 15mm camel in the rear. should be close enough

Yes, side-to-side. DS side is low... of course !

Thanks Guys.... I think I figured it all out. I have a set on order from TRDParts and from MAF.

Are u sure u put the coils on the right side? I understand the PS & DS is different. Just a thought.

Of the several OME lifts weve installed, the only one with the lean was a 95 with the same ome stock ride height springs. We tried swapping springs side to side and other variations to no avail.

Get an extra spacer while ordering, When we did the math and the packers/spacers came, we needed more than we originally anticipated. The truck was stubborn about working on getting the lean out. If I rememer right it was the left rear that was low.

Good luck~

Yep, I double checked, maybe triple checked. Also put a call into Slee to verify sides. Still a lean, not as bad, but still there. Hopefully the 'shims' will correct it ?

I did the Camel 20mm spacer, they are urethane so you can always throw one on a belt sander for a custom height. Very happy with turn around time and over the phone service.

Jose, what caster correction are you running? I assume plates w/ that much lift? I love how the Ironman coils are painted yellow.

2 degree rubber bushings, no problems, so far...
