Hello
I've just put new shocks (long travel Bilstein) and springs(Rangie spares 2 inch) and my old (74) Rangie has developed a nasty lean to the
drivers side. I was just wondering if anyone else has come across this problem , is it the springs or something else? A quick measure at the chassis sees the drivers side down approx. 20mm. ?????

phone Andrew @ Rangie Spares and complain...
there should be a drivers and passenger side spring as the engine is offset to the drivers side....
mine did the same thing, but I levelled the car out with some spacers..

Seriously though.... The springs are usually different ratings for each side. Maybe you've just put them in the wrong side.

Thanks for the tips guys (Mum said I'm not fat, just big boned)
Went and spoke to Andrew , the springs are the same so it's in with
the spacers. Fit them on the weekend when I fit the shock extensions
Thanks again

I know I am a bit late with this reply, but I had the same problem with Rangie Spares springs, so when I got my money back from the dealer, I found a spring maker expert in Land Rover and they made me set that accomodated this problem with an extra coil on one side and they are still going strong with no lean.
The company in Sydney is All Springs at Moorebank and have made a number for LROC members all with good results
