Default Rover Has the Lean.... OME springs

Ok, one thing i just noticed, my rover tilts over a bit... I have OME 779 Front Springs and unknown Rears.... However, I have one spring that says "OME 779 L/H" And the Other "OME 779 B"... L/H to Me seems like left side AKA: Driver, and B I Read Means passanger? is there a reason the labels are inconsistant (ARB wont answer). I am just worried because the truck sits an 3/4 of an inch higher on the Passanger side... It looks funny...

Any Ideas, should i swap the rears? (from left to right)

The ones I have seen are marked A for drivers and B for passenger side. The driver's side is supposed to be a bit higher.

Thats what I keep reading, thats why I am suprised to see the Passanger Higher... Aside from the mismatched tags on the springs they seem to be properly installed... perhaps ill swap the rears since i do not know what they are (no tags)... i just dont want to mess things up more...

Measure and tell us how low the left side is, this may help us help you?
If the rears were never changed, they can cause one side to lean.

To clarify, Measure the distance from weel center to the bottom of the wheel arch... on the left side? I'll Just Knab all 4 sides.

I KNOW the rears are not stock, the front is lifted a couple inches and the rear is a even taller, my truck has a slight rake to it...

Ill get thoes measurements after work, tonight.


Thanks,

Ok, The measurements are as follows. I recorded distance between wheel center to arch and distance from wheel arch to wheel center... Figures are in inches.

Drivers Front: 34.25 / 19.75
Passanger Front : 35.00 / 20.5
Delta: 3/4"

Drivers Rear: 34.25 / 20.00
Passanger rear: 35.25 / 21.00
Delta: 1"

I can understand it being a bit off BUT AN INCH, and when i plop my ***, its prolly 1.25, JK...... I HOPE, lol

Your springs should be labelled for US sale. If you are feeling industrious switch them around as they obviously settled funky.
