lean problem

hi just joined was after some advise just lifted my jimny with 3 kap springs got a lean on drivers side if you sit in the passinger side it hardley moves sit in the drivers side and it sinks more then the other side. the front drivers side spring is a inch taller allready thanks kirk

a common problem.

Most people get a 1" spring spacer and insert it on the drivers front spring cup.

or, the expensive option, but a new spring.

the "Jimny Lean" is a common issue, usually more visible with longer springs.

Mine has it and I just accept it!

Someone at work pointed it out to me in the yard the other day, thinking they were being helpful and that I might not have noticed - they seemed a bit shocked when I replied "YEP, THEY ALL DO THAT AND IT DOESN'T HELP THAT I'M A FAT B@?TARD!".

I wouldn't worry. The other solution would be to get a fat girlfriend to even it out but I like the one I've got so it will stay the way it is!

That is interresting, I never noticed it on mine ...... will have a look later and see

:blink:

I know this is an old thread but I'm just about to order a 1" spring spacer to solve my lean problem on the drivers side. Can anyone confirm that this will put the car back to level?

I'm slightly concerned that the spacer might then lift the drivers side higher than the passenger side. I measured the gap between the arches and the drivers side is half an inch lower than the passenger side but I'm guessing that when I sit in the drivers seat it will make it even lower which will mean that the inch spacer will be about right?

I think even if it seems to be higher after the spacer is fitted, it will level out when you sit in the vehicle.
The drivers side has more weight on it, the rear door hinges and the TX box all are located on the drivers side, so overtime some weakness is to be expected.

Personally I accept it and also quote im a Fat B****d too
