Wanting to know if people can give me any advise on where to start. After driving my Rocky up my dodgy flex ramp a month or so back to take pics to post on forum I have found that it seems to be leaning to the right (the side I drove up the flex ramp on). The same day I removed my sway bar and have disconnected the arm that attaches to the diff. Can anyone help me out with how I might be able to fix this or have I twisted my chassis or something stupid?:crazy:

Drive it up the flex ramp on the other side and even it up .... :)

Sounds liike the springs have sagged..
Grab your tape measure and measure each side from the ground to the wheel arch and compare.

Chuck a carton of stubbies in the other side as ballast to level the old girl out. Then you have the excuse of "gotta keep the car level" to grab yourself a carton. hehe.

Sounds like dodgy spring. If it is, a reset will only be a short term fix. Time for that lift kit you were thinking of ;-)

yeah, I reckon it could have a LOT to do with the hilux springs (or whatever they were) that u put in there

if worse comes to worse u can always chuck ur old springs back in - u didn't chuck em out did ya :D

Sound to me like you need new springs. My old mans GQ did the same a few years back, he was told that he must of left it up there to long and conpressed the spring to much for to long. his best op was new springs to fix the problem. (srings were original from factory, so they were old)
