Hey all, I know the rover lean has been discussed ad nauseum, but I've got a 96 D1, 193k on the clock. I installed a TF MD 2' lift kit about 6 months ago, and the car is sagging a full inch on the passenger side, front and rear.

Most of the time the consensus is old worn springs when this topic comes up, but that is not the case this time(unless I got a bunk set).

Springs are installed in their correct, marked location. I.E. Front drivers is marked frond DS, passenger is front PS, etc.

Are terrafirma marked driver/passenger based on RHD vehicles...? Are they somehow labeled backwards? Is something else going on? The car did lean before the lift in the same direction, and I honestly don't remember if it leveled out perfectly after the installation, but it seems much more noticeable now

 

Check body mounts to the chassis?

 

Good suggestion ^. Try swapping em around. I know the stock springs where handed for a driver without passenger.

 

I always found it a little odd that 200-250 lbs would matter much in a car already weighing in over 4,000 lbs.

Are the smaller, lighter weight cars of today (your average Honda for example) also 'handed'?

 

Not that I'm aware of off hand, I'm sure there are others that have gone down that path. I have two vehicles that I'm mod'ing with aftermarket coil springs and both are front to back weight distribution, not side to side, front to back.
