well, the pic all depends on camera angle. Too difficult to tell. Looks pretty good. If you felt you could barely tell, why start the thread?

As long as you are pleased with it, that's all that matters.

I started the thread before I talked to AEV and took it to the shop. I got a bit freaked out and that's why I wanted to see if there more people with that issue. I appreciate the responses, it's a learning process for me!!!

My bone stock 2014 JKUR also leans very slightly, but noticeably to the passenger side.

Mine stock Rubicon leaned slightly to the passenger side since I bought it... More-so with a full tank of gas. Since the lift, it's exactly the same no more, no less.

Nope, it's my stinger that gives me 5 mpg more. Creates lift and more aerodynamics. I got another 5 mpg with a throttle body space and K&N air filter. Prius territory now.

Default Just the opposite for mine

I’m having the opposite effect, before the lift my passenger side was lower, after the lift my drivers side gained 3 inches while my passenger side gained 4 inches. I’m just under full maybe a little above 3/4 tank of gas. I took it to the Jeep dealership for installation and it took them 2 days of work hours to install, and afterwards my passenger side front tire “couldn’t be properly aligned” according to them. It wasn’t far off but I found that a little odd, I have a 2018 JKU Oscar Mike edition that came with AEV front and rear bumpers and I believe AEV rock rails. The dumb part was Jeep refused to include and install the winch plate from AEV so you had to buy it separately and uninstall the bumper to put it on then reinstall it all over again, I said F that and just replaced the bumper with another brand, if I have to do all that work anyway I’ll choose a company that includes everything needed to do so. I’m new to all this aftermarket stuff for Jeeps and it’s my first actual Jeep build, beyond getting a front bumper and winch on my 2016 Jeep JK, which I traded it in for the Oscar Mike edition.

My Jeep named “Wampa”.

One thing to keep in mind, especially if you don't have both front and rear adjustable track bars, is that if the axles aren't perfectly centered that can contribute to a lean.
