I have the same problem with the RC 3.5" series II lift. If you look at the axle when it is lifted it changes the angle of the spring seat. You can correct with some degree wedges for the rear axel. I am going to purchase soon and provide feedback.

What he said.
With a 4.5" coil, it is 'bowing', not sagging. There are kits to cut off your spring perch and re-weld it up top, or cut it off and ubolt a new one on, or the spacers he mentioned that are cut at an angle.
This is RK's version:

This is assuming you have the common problem of that coil bowing? If it is in fact sagging, you'll need to replace it...

LOL!! yep, the JK lean is totally normal.
you can fix this with ease by installing a set of adjustable sway bar links from northridge4x4. set the passenger side links a bit longer than the driver side and, your lean will go away

Northridge does have their own brand too.
