Fitted a 2 inch the other day to my gq it's. Been a week now as it has settled I've noticed it leans to drivers side. I rang manufacturer and they said drivers side springs are longer I have checked the drivers side is correct as the springs have d/s on them I have heard its a common thing do I just put in spacers or not if so what size

No. Not on a new kit. what brand springs? Nothing to do with the shocks. its the Springs.

If you confirm that the springs are in the right way then contact the supplier again and advise them of this and claim a warranty.

I wouldn't be accepting that - if you have it fitted correctly then there is no reason why you should be getting such a lean. I would contact the supplier or go and see them and have them replaced.

Are all the bushes in good condition? Are any of the arms bent? You need to get your alignment checked to know for sure.

Do you have a rear sway bar? With or without extensions? IMO they pull down the RH side as the LH side link has ball joints (which allow movement), whereas the RH side just has bushes which try to pull the suspension back to original height.

yeah i hear ya but if he's gonna take them out then he can check visually which is taller while they're out instead of swapping and fitting again to check the vehicle is sitting level

I tried to level mine out in the rear with coil spacers and a 15mm spacer in the rear on the offending side didn't actually change the ride height by 15mm. In the end we added a 10mm spacer to the front corner which helped.....

The drivers side should have a slight lift over the passengers side.
compensates for the drivers weight, and battery sometimes also.
dont always have a passenger so its the standard design for most spring specs.
springs should be labelled L&R, front & rear to.
Yep the guys are pointing you in right direction.
