Hey guys,

Would appreciate some help doing my RUF.

Whatever i have tried my car still leans bad on the drivers side.

It sat fine with the 2inch front springs in. I have even tried putting my 2inch rears straight in with all leafs and it still sags alot.

What is the best combination of leafs to use and has anyone else had this happen?

Did you cut the shackle hanger off and reweld it further forward? If so are you sure distances are the same left to right?
Have you taken it for a drive to settle it all in? You could add an extra leaf on driver side?
When I did my RUF I made the distance from spring hanger to shackle hanger about 1mm more on the drivers side (not sure if this is advisable) and placed the springs that were slightly more arched on the driver side. I have a slight passenger side lean with no one in the car and it sits level with me in the driver seat.

I added an extra leaf to the driver side to allow for the extra weight. It's nice and level now, before it was shite.

No mounts moved but i am running extended shackles.

Put the 2inch rear straight up front.
what i had in there was 2 top leafs from the rears plus the 2nd leaf from the fronts.
This is now in the passenger side and as you can see in the 2nd pic it sits nice.

Not really sure what you are describing with the leaf packs. Are you running an additional leaf in the driver side front or not? Like Damo I ran an additional leaf in my front DS pack to counter the lean when I went RUF.

Yes i tried running an additional leaf from the old fronts. the 2nd leaf.

Or should i be using a leaf from another rear spring?
