2inch lift question

(1/3) > >>

markyb:
ive fitted my oldman emu spings yesterday and all went pretty easy .
the only question i have is the front are quite sitting on the spring mount at the bottom.

measuring there appears to be no difference and i installed them with th e label the right way .

i presume they will settle in as it makes no diffeence to the drive just i know they are`nt right at present,

Anyone had a simular prob did it sort its self out in the end.

Ive thought about turning them over but i dont think it will make any difference.

they do have A & B on them for driver and pass side so they are correct,

My other thought is i bought the heavy duty ones to account for winch and all the other bolt on goodies i will install over a period of time so maybe they are a bit heavy duty at present

Guardian.:
they should sit flat no matter h/d or not, the chances are they will 'ping' into position as you drive up the road.
you could jack the body up, not axle, and try and twist the spring about and it should sit proper.

markyb:
drove up abump and the pass side is in place now, im sure slab common will sort out the drivers side on sunday

thanks for the help been while since i owned a landie,

I found speed bumps at 40+ work very well for settling springs!!! 8)  8)

I found the HD OME springs to be quite harsh at first. They can take quite a while to soften up. The fronts on mine have now begun to settle and are probably 1" lower than when they were installed about 3 years ago. But they now give far more articulation than before.
