Default 04 disco 2: new Terrafirma 2" springs: leans left

Hey guys,

Purchased a new set of Terrafirma medium duty springs from Atlantic British.
Now the left front is down 3/4 of an inch compared to the right, and the left rear is down a quarter inch.

My vehicle is otherwise stock except for slightly bigger tires 265 60 18s.

The springs came sided. PS and DS for both front and rear. All were put on correctly by my mechanic. Couple of questions to the group.

1) do the DS and PS correspond with American spec or British spec? In other words, should my mechanic swap the front springs, or would that exacerbate the problem?

2) the truck is new to me and leaned with the stock springs when I bought it. 107k on the clock. I just figured the springs were shot. There may be another reason why the body appears to be leaning. However no mounts appear to be broken or rusty, and I don't see any sway bars that have been busted up.

I love the look on the right side of the truck. Wish it were more level. If I could get a 3/4 inch spacer, I'd do that if you all think that would work. Appreciate your thoughts.

Oh I should also say this is an SE 7 with rear air. I wouldn't think the extra AC would cause that much lean, but throwing it out there.

That sounds backwards. I think most of the kits say they will sit a little high on the driver's side. I think.

But you shouldn't have to swap them because they are british.... drivers side is driver side. If they said left or right, but expected the driver's side to be higher, then you might have to adjust.
