My 2011 Rebuild

First of all, I must state that it has had heavy use so its probably not a reflection on Kap.

Mine has always been very soft, loads of lean around the bends. We were watching it on the trailer behind the car and it was rocking like a boat in a storm whilst the Range Rover and trailer were level. It has Pro-comp ES9000 on the front and ES3000 on the rear.

Will fully document the process here, but it will be while before the Jimmy gets out for a proper trial run.

Kirkynut, how about measuring yours at the same points.

Crickey, I'm not knocking KAP, my springs and shocks have been on it for longer than I've owned it, and I have done a fair amount of heavy off roading, not as often as you or for as many years though.

My LR owning mates tend to change theirs more often than mine have been.

When you think about the amount of times each spring gets compressed to the max, then expanded to the max each time you off road, 4-5 years of it is a fair time!

I'll try to remember to measure it today but I'm not famed for getting round to things like that!

hi i too have the k.a.p 3inch springs which have been on my jimny about 3yrs but have had very light green lane use but i am also getting a lean to the drivers side of about an inch ive tried everything to sort this swopping springs around adjusting pan rods ect ect nice to know its not my jimny and its just springs will be waiting for them 3inch springs

Right, been out and had a measure up Martin.

Drivers front indicator, top of - 37"
Driver's rear light, top of reverse lamp - 42"

Passenger front indicator, top of - 38"
Passenger rear light, top of reverse lamp - 42.75"

So mine has fared a little better than yours. I take it you have no spring spacers on the driver's side. This could be a solution but not the ideal I don't think!?!

Mine does have 1.5" spring spacers! - however I havent checked if they are still there after Wagtail
