Jimny lean spacer help was created by Rodden87
So after owning my jim for six months I'm getting more annoyed with its lean! Measuring from the top of front shock mount the drivers side is 1 inch lower than the passenger side! My quandary is I run 3 inch kap springs + 1.5 inch spring spacers. I did think about dropping to 1 inch spacers and going to a 2 inch spacers on the drivers side but I don't want to spend loads of cash on different spacers! So I thought about running a extra spacers in the drivers side 15mm wouldn't completely fix the lean but would help or a 25 mm spacers which should sort it although I'm a it concerned about running a 1.5 inch and 25 mm together has anyone tried this before with any success?

Have you tried swapping the front springs? Or are they exactly the same length ?

And, if you are using spacers, why not loose the spacer in the tallest side.

I can't really afford to loose any lift as the tire rub on flex as it! So I would like to know find a way of getting level without touching the other sides if that makes sense and I'm sure kap springs are the same length!

Buy a set of offroad armoury spring as thay have the drivers side made longer to compensate for the lean if you get the 4" lift you can take your spacers out

ORA won't supply just the springs. Best to call Jimnybits as they will supply the front springs where they have a longer offside front spring.
