Listing Springs
#1

This is something I noticed after my lift but haven't thought much of until tonight. How normal is it for the 4 corners of the vehicle to be out of level? I noticed the rear was off by about an inch so when I got home I adjusted it, and this threw the front out by close to two inches on one side. Now I remember why it was a compromise at the time.
What would the correct way to deal with this be? Insert a 1" spacer under one of the front springs and then level using the air suspension? What would the cheapest/fastest way to do this be? I'm used to having ride-height adjustment, so I'm not seeing how you're 'supposed' to do this on a traditionally sprung vehicle.

That's exactly what I'm wondering right now. With the rear set evenly, the front left is 11" and the front right is 10" almost exactly. I read the OME set has one longer than the other, these are both marked RR4-1 and I don't see any left/right indications on them. I even had them installed at Rovertym, think swapping them might have some effect? It would be a pain to do for sure. Adding a 1" spacer on the right side might be the best way to level things out. This may have something to do with the highway handling too.

Apparently some right-lean is normal in left-drive vehicles, and left-lean in right hand drives. I'll have to get someone to measure it when things are loaded up. Seems odd it would be balanced for a single driver though. If it levels out a bit I could always use some trim-packers to level it a bit.

RTE doesn't install matched springs, so you have two options. Front spacers like the Rover Isolators or the ARB spacers, both are pretty much the same and ad a little less then an inch so you can use one on either the top or bottom of the spring and a second on the other end if necessary. I would probably do this first, which by the way, I had to do with mine, then carefully in very small changes, slowy reset the rear to even up the front.
Too bad your are across the border, or I would try and call you.
It took me a few trys and lots of patience for me to get my 4 corners set but you can do it and keep all 4 with in 1/4".
