Sitting level

CRS · May 5, 2022

My 11A swb is sitting low on the back, about 2 inches different to the front, a previous owner had fitted 4 new leaf springs, I seem to remember if you fitted lwb shackles it would bring it up a bit, am I remembering correctly or do I need to change the rear springs.
Thanks

You might be able to check which ones are fitted
Don’t know if longer shackles would help , apart from the aesthetics is it causing a problem

Eat a few more pies, push the front down a bit?

never thought of that

No it’s not causing a problem, just the look of it

Just get some proper rear springs.

I've got std 109 rear shackles on mine with parabolics as even when all the springs was new the front springs seem to lift the front up a tad compaired to the rears it now sits level

When I refurbed my rear springs one side had the two lowest spring plates cracked, on the good side I chopped down the 2nd shortest plate to suit shortest , so now I’m running it with a short spring short on both sides
It has dropped it a bit out of level but on the plus side it’s easier for dog to get in
