    Do the front as well as that will give you true reading
    Eg 2" extended shackles in rear only will only lift 4x4 1"
    fit 2" extended to all 4 and will lift 4x4 2" all around, Its a Math thing. lol

    Well thought I would check the front springs.
    And of course they are on the wrong side to.

    How hard is the front to change?

    Hahaha.. you may need spring compressor for the front as the bump stops are inside the spring..
    But do the same. Lift the body and allow the axle to drop.

    Well front and back both done now.
    Still leans to the drivers side but only 10mm at the back and 5mm at the front.
    All in all not a bad out come.

    And I had to use spring compressors front and back as my jack plus two pieces of 30mm ply was only just enough to get it up.
    Even let the air out of my tyres for that extra bit off drop

    next time if you have to do them shaun...take the front bump stops off first and let them drop into the spring...plate on top of the spring tower with 2 bolts once off allows you to get to the bolt for the stops....the same for the back..take the bump stops off first...just 2 bolts holding them up...it gives you more room to get the spring in and out....just drop your diffs to the ground (breather and break lines permitting )..and the springs will fall out and in without spring compressors....cheers

    PS use your stands under the chassis up a couple of holes..install is just reverse..put front bump stops inside spring before you locate it and finger them up through spring to re-bolt them
