    Do yourself a favour and move the tank to the left side.If you don't it will lean more and more that way as the springs get older.Your weight will balance it out. Pat

    Worth noting that nearly all Landrover springs, coil as well as leaf, are 'handed', that is left and right are different, and having them on the wrong side will give a lean.

    If you look at old series models most of them have a lean to the right as the fuel tank and driver are on that side.Spread the weight either side. Pat

    swap the coils left to right if they werent handed before they will be now. if youve noticed a coiler leaning swapping the springs over early on will give you about 12 more months out of them.
