Hi Guys,
i noticed on the GU today that the body isnt sitting level, or even close to level. what could be causing this?
i measured from the ground to the top of the wheel arches and the measurements are as follows:
DSF:990 PSF:1015
DSR:1005 PSR:1040
any ideas what needs to be adjusted/replaced to fix this?
Thanks in advance

usually they put a slightly longer coil in the RF to compensate for the driver.
how old is this set up?
Im about to put 15mm coil spacers in,

It was on when I bought it so I'd say it's reasonably old. Would removing the seat bar affect the way the car sits when on the flat?

Not sure what a seat bar is, did you measure from centre of hub to the bottom of wheel arch.
You havent been doing any real Hard core stuff have you and I mean rough driving in knarly country
May be just maybe the shocks are stuffed give each corner a decent push and see if it bounces once.
If it bounces more then your shocks are due for renewal
TBH I think its time to update your suspension but if it still sits ok then just change the shocks.

If you are using a generic gq/gu spring the right rear will sit lower. we use King spring at work. They have a specific pair of springs for the rear and have a stagger in the rear to compensate. As TD said, usually the have a slightly taller spring in the r/f as well. A sagged right rear in the GU is quite common.

OK sorry should have included the car has a 4" toughdog suspension lift. I'll give the car a push tomorrow and see what it does. It's just I've never noticed it leaning, and haven't don't any major 4wding in it, I've only been out in it once since I rebuilt the engine.

I cant remember the measurements off the top of my head, but I do know that when I put in my lift in it was uneven as well. The Springs were different sizes in height.
