I have a Jimny with a 3" jimny bits lift installed and it is leaning on the drivers side. Does anyone else have the same problem? I emailed JB and they sent me out a new front drivers side spring but it dosent seem to have fixed the problem. |

prolly similar to sierra where theres more weight on the drivers side so it leans a little.... did you check both front and rear springs are on the correct left and right sides? Some manufacturers put a stiffer spring on the drivers side front and rear to counter it. |

i have no dramas with my JB lift. you put the longest spring in the kit front/drivers side? should be: LONGEST : Drivers Side front 2nd: Passenger Front 3rd and 4th (shortest ones) : Back. |

I had the same problem, did the way scales has it and still had the lean, spent hours swapping springs around and had no luck. I now run 75mm in the front front and 40mm coils in the rear, no more lean but sits 10mm higher in the fronт and I've got better articulation |

My 50mm Kings have a longer spring in the front right. It seemd ok for a while, but seems to lean again. It is VERY soft. With the weight of the cage, bar and winch, its only 5mm higher than standard in the front! I am on the lookout for a stiffer set. |

Yeh longest is front drivers side. Was wondering if it made a difference with the standard springs having the longer one in the rear drivers side. Was thinking about trying a 15mm spacer in the rear drivers side? |

Is your lean about 30mm difference? |

No its only 10-15 mm when parked but mor noticeable when driving. Leans more on left turns than right and on side slopes. |

Just wondering how you are running 40mm coils in rear? Are they the front springs off 40mm lift run in the rear? |

I started to swap the Jimny coils around but couldn't get my lean to go away, I mix the coils around until i got it right. Either they are 40 or 50mm coils that are the same size so they are,rear springs in the rear. I've put a short 75mm coil in the passenger and a long one in drivers side, has a slight lean to passegnger side when parked but when I get in it sits level. |
