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.
