: Mis-matched 55 Springs

I finally have my 55 to a point where I can drive it and now this...

Took the time the other day to measure a few points around the pig in preparation for a SOA. All is fine until I get to the rear and notice the driver side sits about an inch lower than the passenger side. I've id'd the problem as the drivers side rear spring pak being de-arched about an inch over the passenger side.

From what I've gathered on the board, 55 springs are some of the best to have so my question is; should I have them re-arched prior to SOA or should I look for new springs, possibly wagoneer?

Any recommendations are appreciated.

I wouldn't worry about arch, once SOA they will all sag ALOT. Even if you arched them they'd still be a victim of "Cruiser Lean"tm . As for fj55 springs being the best, thats only for a swap into an fj40 (rear) b/c they are a much longer spring allowing for more articulation.

HTH.
