Disco Lean. Springs and What Not
My 96 Disco leans noticeably so I'm going to be doing something about that..
But I have some questions..
Looks like the OEM front springs are different left to right.. Hence the lean..DUH ! The rear springs are the same.. What's really going on here ?
Will replacing the front springs cure the lean ? I"m sure new springs would raise me at least an inch from where I am now...
I'm really not looking for any real lift.. An inch would be fine..
But.. I plan on building a bumper with a winch mount for it...
So I'm thinking stock replacement springs are probably not the way to go..
Looking for recommendations on reasonably priced springs...
Don't want to break the bank as I'm not building a competition truck...
What's up ?

They make HD versions of stock springs I think. Most springs, both OEM and aftermarket, are side specific. You could just have sagging springs. Or your truck just might have a lean because it rolled off the assembly line on a Friday. 
I've had both 2" and now 3" RTE HD lift springs on my truck. My truck has leaned to the passenger side in the rear with both sets. Maybe its the fact that RTE springs are NOT side specific? I think my truck just has a lean though. I've accepted this fact and solved the problem(visually it annoyed the **** out of me) by adding a 1/2" spacer puck under the passenger side bottom spring perch.

After my recent 2in TF lift I still notice a slight lean on my Passenger rear. Previously it came with an 2in OME with the same lean concern..Grrrrr!
[Q] Mr fishEH: where did you get your 1/2" spacer puck? Homemade and what kind of material?
T.I.A.
