fixed my gangsta lean...
Ok guys, after installing a 3.5" MC lift I had the pass. side lean to the tune of about 3/4".
Never noticed it before the new springs.
After looking over everything from proper spring seating to isolator pad centering etc.. I finally gave up.
While pondering this one day over a beer of course, I thought something had to be causing it that wasn't like that before.
Well the only thing I could think of that I didn't triple check was the front sway bar links.
After taking apart during initial lift install to clean and lube them up ( RK adjustables I had on previous lift ) I put them back together with one side 3/4" longer than the other.
That's what a full Saturday of installing the lift myself and being completely shot and half retarded by the time I was done got me.
After lengthening the pass. side to match the driver side ( duh )
It now sits dead level.
Just something to check out as a possible cause for the guys still sporting the gangsta

So now how does it sit when you're in the drivers seat? I've gotta lean when I'm not in it, but as soon as I get in, it levels out.
It bugs me really bad. I thought if I try fixing it, it'd just go back to leaning once I got in it. (I'm only 200 lbs).
Here's another thing...so since it's level once I get in it, as soon as a passenger gets in, the lean comes back.
I've never seen a vehicle so sensitive to weight.

In my case, as soon as I figured out I was a dumbass and set the links wrong it went level and stays level even with my 215lbs. In it alone.
Passenger doesn't affect it leaning to the that side again.

I know man it's nuts these things are like this. In my case, as soon as I figured out I was a dumbass and set the links wrong it went level and stays level even with my 215lbs. In it alone. Passenger doesn't affect it leaning to the that side again. Sent from my LG-LS980 using JK-Forum
I'm glad you fixed yours!
But like many have said, theirs came with it from the factory!
Chrysler quality for ya.
It's tough when the lean can be changed by having just a driver or both a driver and passenger.
If it never went away even with
Just you driving I'd throw a spacer at that corner but not really worth it if it comes back when you have a passenger
