Just want confirmation I guess, went out 4wheelin yesterday in the mud and all and notice this morning when washing it that it is about 1 to 1.5 inches lower on the drivers side. I couldnt find anything broken. So I guess the springs are had it.

Yeh this is common, almost all leaf sierras do it, most of us just put up with it. As Choppy says, there are many threads on this subject, just search for something like 'sierra lean'

Bent springs?

Hit shackles?

Otherwise. Its the most common thing with a sierra. Search "lean"

My new springs have been in for over a month, and taken heaps of abuse... No lean for me yet, exactly the same

Looks like the front right is the culprit

Jccck what sort of springs did you get, these were OME.

Oh yeah, fat bastard wasnt driving "son of" was and scrawn unless you can bend them back the gym aint gonna do anything

Well i bought 'em off ebay :D so idk 8O
My fronts have freed up and flex well now, the rears need a little more abuse, but they'll get there haha

I also heard something about front left and front right having different springrates, not sure if this is true.. But it was said that the "lean" can be caused by putting the springs on the wrong sides?
Is this correct? I think i read it in one of Buzooka's threads

I just checked with ARB and I can get new 40mm lift for a hundred bucks each, these will take a week or more to get. Or EFS springs for 210 bucks Anyone with comments on this spring or better ones or price.

Go the OME (ARB) springs. Great price and good quality. Just take a leaf out of the passenger side to help out with the inevitable lean.

Ok found the stabiliser bar had lost a bolt and one bent spring. Need the car so swapped springs with an old set still no good, swapped the ol set side to side and still no good, put a rear set on with extended shackles still the same.
Any help would be great it has about 40 mil different

Well I put new 2" kings on RH is much higher in free state than left and it still had about 20 mil lean so I swapped the backs over and now its about 5mil high RH side which is perfect I recon. So for my 5 cents anyone who has a lean it can be fixed with the right combination of springs
