Default Hmm... is this normal?

I was just washing my jeep and I noticed that there seemed to be more room between the frame and the tire on the drivers side in the rear as compared to the passanger side. I know that lifting will shift the axles, but I also have the drop trac bar bracket. I have a 2.5" TF lift by the way. Anyways, as I measuring and looking at that, I noticed that my passenger side rear is lower than my drivers.

All in all, my tires are offset to the drivers side by about 1/2 inch in the back and my passenger side is sitting 3/4 inch lower than the drivers side. Is this from the gas tank? that really seems like a lot of drop to me... like should I be able to notice it from looking at it? kinda bugs me now. I hope this isn't a bigger problem, or me needing a new coil.

Any advice would be awsome. Thanks!

WOl suggests getting ADJ rear sway bar links and adj your low side abit higher to get rid of the gangsta lean.

I had the same rear wheel offset problem when I installed my 2.5 TF lift. I installed an adjustable track bar and it did the trick.

I'm not sure about the lean.

The lean is "normal" with JK's. As stated, using adjustable swaybar links is one way to help
the lean, I use JKS links. And....carry the heavy stuff on the drivers side, extra battery, tools,
rock collection, etc.

Could I use a coil spacer instead? I have a set kicking around.
