I have the OME lift, Heavy in front and Medium in rear. The ride is great but my FJ leans. The Driver's side is lower then the passenger, it looks bad. Is there a fix out there. I need to correct it ASAP, I can't stand it.
Ome sells a peice for this problem. I think you have two options 5mm and 10mm. I've got this peice on mine also it goes on the mount on the bottom drivers side. I think you will need to break down the shock and spring though if you plan on adding this peice. So, the spacer that others are mentioning may be a easier fix.I have the OME lift, Heavy in front and Medium in rear. The ride is great but my FJ leans.

I am under the impression that the full OME front comes with two different size springs. One is taller. And that the taller goes on the drivers side.I have the OME lift, Heavy in front and Medium in rear. The ride is great but my FJ leans. The Driver's side is lower then the passenger, it looks bad.

The spring isn't taller. There is a trim packer that is installed on the driver side though. 5 or 10mm which corrects this lean. If he wants to do this though He will have to break the spring down which willll suck!!!!!I am under the impression that the full OME front comes with two different size springs. One is taller.

Are you sure that it was installed correct?
Nope. The springs are identicalI am under the impression that the full OME front comes with two different size springs. One is taller. And that the taller goes on the drivers side.

I have heavies all around and I don't bother looking for the lean or measuring either side.I am VERY surprised that you have the heavies in the front and you can notice a lean. I have that and i don't notice a thing.

cut/paste from my install treadNope. The springs are identical
Wow, that is strange (springs of differing heights). When I did my OME lift some months ago, I remember standing the springs up just like you did, but the heights were identical.cut/paste from my install tread

Only had .25" lean before the lift. Spacer is good for .5". This is why I put the taller spring on the passenger side. It's very level now. If things change I can always switch those springs. I put the taller rear on the driver side. The rears were much closer in size.
Stock front(left) next to OMEs.
I don't see a bumper evening it out. Either trying to get you to buy one, or he thinks the front's too high (Misunderstood).So I called ARB today and they guy said to use two 5mm trim packers. He told me to measure from the bottom of the rim to the bottom of the fender on all 4 corners. Then he asked me what springs and shocks I have. So I did this and he told me to add 2 trim packers. He also told me that if I install the ARB winch bumper it will not lean anymore. He went on to say that their FJ they use for shows needed 2 trim packers as well. So I'm going to deal with it for a wile until I get my bumper and then see if I still need to trim. He also said it is very common for all vehicles.
x2, why does adding more weight EVENLY balance out the unbalanced FJ???I don't see a bumper evening it out. Either trying to get you to buy one, or he thinks the front's too high (Misunderstood).
I'd just use a 10mm spacer instead of 2 5mm spacers. Don't know why he suggested that.
