did you swap the front and rear drivers side springs around ?

did you measure before fitting the spacers, was the unevenness already there ?

one of the springs is longer on purpose :unsure:

hi Halford
no we did the back first & then the front but even then we did them one at a time ( ie one off one on)
but I did put new rear Monroe shocks on it and It was all the same before we started !!!!

Try driving it for a few miles give everything a chance to settle, might get a loud dong sound as one of the springs seats itself correctly. Or have a look at the taller one to make sure the end of the spring is butted up against the step in the lower seat & not on top of it.

I fitted the spring spacers to mine last week & it's looks great but just popped outside & measure mine & all are different between 3 1/2" & 4 1/2" but I'm not worried still looks good & drives totally fine.
