So my sj is finally on the road but have noticed she leans to the o/s suspension wise she has 2 inch lifted springs and astra shocks all round I bought thsee nearly new and have done approx 60 miles on them . I have thought about swapping the rears round side to side . What ar everyone's thought on this ?????

Quite common!

Lot's of weight that side, driver, main dash, battery, steering system, fuel tank, driver, diffs etc

The Famous Suzuki Lean.

On the Jimny's they actually sell a kit to sort this out, it's a 1" rubber spacer that fits in the Coil Springs.

I would suggest a counter-weight, such as move your tools onto the left!

Had exactly the same on mine, swapped springs, checked mountings pulled my hair out.
In the end I made 1 extended shackle for the o/s/r spring and hey presto no more annoying lean.
