Passenger Side Lean After 2.5" Lift
*Title meant to say 3.5" springs*
Ok, so as the title says I've noticed a passenger side lean after my first offroading trip with my new 3.5" Black Diamond lift springs installed. It could have been there since installation, however I just noticed it doing my post wheeling check-over. I got the lift brand new and hvae only had them on for maybe 3 weeks. I've read up and found this to be somewhat normal in having a passenger side lean, but I need to hear other opinions and advice. It's clearly my leaf spring and not the body because the passenger side shackle extends forward maybe half an inch where as my driver side shackle is nearly verticle. I have tracbars and sway bars removed front and rear. I am not a heavy driver (164lbs) and do not carry heavy passenger on a regular basis. Cept for those fat chicks I pick on the weekend. Oh booyyyy ![]() -Brian

mine did this too but leaned to the drivers side. it's just that one of your leaf springs in softer than the other and got broken in faster. it took mine about a month to 2 months to even up. but it still leans a little bit. a lot of people i have talked to on here said they had the same problem as well. hope this helps ya out

Thanks man I appreciate it!
I figured it's a natural thing considering every leave being manufactured to perfect consistency isn't bound to happen. I'm guessing, like you said, once the springs settle it should be less noticeable! Thanks for the input! -Brian

check the torque on the mounting bolts now make sure they are in spec that could cause the problem. Did you get adjustable track bar?? That also could be half on the problem too remove one end of the track bar (Tie it out of the way), drive it down some nice bumpy road then look at it on level ground.
