did you do all the Ubolts up while it was jacked up on one side?

I always fit them loosly(ish) and then do them up fully when the sj is back on all 4 wheels.

did you put complete new springs on, or add-a-leaf? if add-a-leaf, your old springs could be knackered
It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

Soz didn't get no pictures but I fitted a set of new springs on.the rear and then bolted everything up I might of done up the u bolts when the zook was still jacked up but I bolted them on and took it for a test run and everything looks about right but then I had to change the week bearing in.the rear axle so it was jacked like this for 2 days max and the zook is leaning to the drivers side and I just don't understand so once it has stopper raining I will take some photos and might just swap over the rear springs
