But, I could swear sometimes it looks like the right front looks lower than the rest, slight leaning? I've put a level on the bumper.. Could be me driveway, only place I ever really notice it. I could be hallucinating. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I've seen some Jeeps that kind of have that perma-lean look to them. Wasn't sure if this was common on D2's, if it was is there a fix? Thanks for any advice, experience, input...   Christopher Boese (Christopher) Member Username: Christopher Post Number: 107 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Monday, July 21, 2003 - 11:40 am:    My '95 D1 did this from new. Maybe Land Rover's intention was to set things up so the truck would be level when someone was in the driver's seat. Listen to me defend that company - I'm so codependent...   John Moore (Jmoore) Senior Member Username: Jmoore Post Number: 767 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Monday, July 21, 2003 - 11:44 am:    Measure the springs. Check against the measurements in the tech section.   Mike Bauer (Mikeb) Member Username: Mikeb Post Number: 60 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Monday, July 21, 2003 - 12:49 pm:    Measure from the center of the wheel to the top of the fender lip. Your measurements should be the same for each side. There may be slight differences front to rear. Leaning on a Disco is very common. If it bothers you, put on new springs. It's not really a safety problem. Thanks, Mike B.   Zach Jaggers (Mountenn) Senior Member Username: Mountenn Post Number: 322 Registered: 03-2003 Posted on Monday, July 21, 2003 - 05:38 pm:    On the Disco I's, the springs were set up to compensate for the weight of a 200lb driver. I don't think this was done on the DII's as well, but I could be wrong. FWIW...   Jared Schnelle (Jared) Member Username: Jared Post Number: 159 Registered: 09-2002 Posted on Monday, July 21, 2003 - 08:01 pm:    I just replaced my springs with heavy duty old man emu springs. I have a 95 DI, and the front left spring was 1 1/2 inch taller than the front right. Explain that to me Now with the new springs it sits perfectly level.   Zach Jaggers (Mountenn) Senior Member Username: Mountenn Post Number: 326 Registered: 03-2003 Posted on Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 08:45 am:    Jared, Read my last post. That will explain it all. -Zach   charles pastrano (Charles) Senior Member Username: Charles Post Number: 272 Registered: 08-2002 Posted on Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 09:15 am:    Visit the EE site. John and Ho have a good write up regarding sagging springs. They sell their springs matched. Charles
