Will a 1 inch spacer help my "Disco Lean" - Land Rovers Only

disco12 · 06-19-2006, 10:18 PM

Even with the 2 inch lift the Disco is still leaning a tiny bit on the passenger side I notice this because my Disco looks like it has more lift on the Driver than on the Passenger. Will a 1 inch spacer help that so it can look even.

I am having the same problem, I guess 1 spacer on the pass. side should do the job. however, I don;t know whether it's gonna affect the handling or not. I measured from bottom to the fender and there's 1 inch difference in height.

this maybe the result of OME standart, before I put on my springs, I noticed the driver's side spring was slightly taller than pass. side and also the rear springs.

I can't imagine why OME doesn't think that's a problem.
ONE INCH off? I'd send the springs back.

Try swapping them. Of course you shouldn't have to, but It will probably work.

You might want to get in touch with John Lee at Expedition Exchange, he sells a Rover Made spring isolator that is made to balance out the left to right lean. They are 1/2" and can be installed separatily or one on the top of the spring and one on the bottom, that is what I did to balance out my set of 751 springs.
They do not effect the handling of the truck or it's ride.

Disco12 - I think I have some...let me check....if so, you can get it when you pick up those tires....

Wait...are we talking about this? If so, we already put thm on your truck. My thinking is that if we add spacers....it will lean the other way when you are in it. The reason why there is a lean is the difference in the springs to accomodate for driver load and so forth.

I also put 4 of those on top of each springs. I guess 210lb isn't enough to balnce the truck

i think roverx hit the nail on the head. it sits perfect with a driver sitting in it. at least the classics do and i think discos too. regards , big jim... 90 classic and 95 classic. i just picked up the 95 a couple of weeks ago with the intention of selling the 90 classic. well, 2 days after the purchase of the 95, i got rearended in the 90 by some 16 year old with no license taking daddys minivan for a joyride.

his ins. co. will probably total mine. hopefully i will get decent bucks on it. could be more than what i wouldve got if i sold it i will find out tomorrow when allstates adjuster finally makes it out to look at it.
