My jeep is leaning to the passenger side. I have a 2 1/2 Teraflex BB with 35's on it which I have had on for one and a half years. Does anyone know an answer? Thanks

Quite a few threads on this, it's semi-normal. They seem to come from the factory with a lean... 
But, you can check the coils to see if the one on that side is sagging or got unseated. And also check the difference when the gas tank is empty vs full.

I swapped out Unlimited coils on my 2-door to get some lift and from reading lots of threads it seems like Jeep puts different springs in the front a lot of the time. Mine from the factory were the same part number on both sides but when I started looking for new coils they were different part numbers and the dealership lists the parts as "left front" and "right front". I ended up finding a place in town that had a lot of factory take-offs so I went through their pile and got two front coils with the same part number (#19) and it sits level within 1/4" left to right. If I had used what came on a lot of the Rubi's (#17/#18) I would have been 1/2" high on the right. Sorry for the long post about this. You can check the last digits on the PN tag and see if that's the case with you. You can find coils cheap on Craigslist or just go buy one new coil from Jeep for ~$40 with whatever part number you need to make a matched set. Good luck.
Do you have taller bump stops installed with the lift?
The reason I ask, because sometimes when the coil gets compressed to far it does not maintain it's original shape when it expands and would cause your lean. In any case I can only see this as a bagged out coil
Also I'd like to add that my stock coils where 7 months old when removed and where squashed, warped and bent.
