i have a LHD jimny and i fitted the longer spring to the drivers side (ora 3" kit) but its leaning on the other side cause that spring is shorter.. I dont really get this.. will it sag later on? or do I need to eat more burgers?

Check carefully that the spring is not fractured.

Jimmy lean is allegedly only a Right Hand Drive vehicle problem. Apparently they are unbalanced by 32kg due to all the bits on the right of the car. Therefore biased springs should only be used on RHD cars

On the stock jimny it's the back drivers side spring which is longer I think. The front ones are the same size.
