HELP1/2" difference ok .... Front end
Hi guys I just noticed today on my JK 4 dr FRONT end is slightly lower on the passenger side only a 1/2" or so that's looking at it head on using the fenders. Is that normal ? Or should I ask is it ok??!
I have a full 3" Teraflex lift installed, including new adj track bar... 33" tires 35" MTZ's going on in 6 days..... Thx Rob

the passenger side is known to sit a little lower due to the gas tank on that side, and it usually levels out once a driver is in the Jeep. this has been talked about many times over the years...
however, if its just the front, it sounds like what Pluke said and may be a coil that has rotated off of the perch. could also be a seized control arm if the arms werent loosened during the lift install and retorqued on the ground.

The JK lean
Almost all JK's sit lower on the right, especially the 4 door. I have had 3 sets of coils in mine with exactly the same result, I think all becasue of the gas tank which is probably 90kg when full. I have a 10mm spacer in the front right and a 1" spacer in the rear right. Sits dead level up front and about 3mm taller in the rear. The problem is worse in Oz as we also drive on the RHS which drops it another 6mm. Oz coil manufacturers have just started to make coils right and left sided as they have been doing for other 4wd's for years, 10 - 15mm longer front and rear.

I noticed my swaybar in the front is not identical on both sides when compared to the frame as a reference point. Could be due to weight distribution. I just installed a new rear bumper and man is it heavy and the tire rack connects on the passenger side which supports all the rear tire, rack, and gas can weight. That could easily be 300-400 pounds of difference plus the gas tank
