Hey There,
I have a calmini lift kit in my zuki with reverse shackles and the lean on my sierra is atrocious..like as in left corners need to be taken super slow as to know tip it over :(

i have spare calmini leaf packs from when i bought it..maybe try swapping one of them over? or maybe swap the leaf packs from the other side over?

I havent had a sierra before let alone a 4wd, and to me looking at the leaf pack it looks twisted...i will take some pics for you guys but i need to sort this problem ASAP because its irritating to not be able to take off camber hills or anything that will cause the drivers side to tip..

Does the Calmini kit have left and right springs? The King Spring kit i got years ago had left and right springs, so you had to make sure you got them in the right place because they were set different to each other.

pics would be good :)

unless its a aus brand put your left springs in the right side. most of the market is in the u.s.a and it for a left hand drive.

other wise put a extra leaf in the right, the longer spring the better as it will start to work earlyer in compresson

I've got the calmini kit too and I also get bad lean, I will swap the front and rear leaves side to side soon, I don't think they come with a left and right specific pack as in america the fat bastard in the drivers seat combats the lean.
