From: 2nd star to the right, and straight on 'til morning
I have an AEV 4.5 lift.
The jeep has a noticeable tilt towards the passenger side.
37" KM2 tire pressures are correct and equal at 29psi as read on my Longacres Racing air pressure gauge (high quality for setting motorcycle race tire pressures)
The jeep is empty inside.
I measured from the same datum point on either front fender or rear bodywork.
On my flat concrete shop floor, air pressures correct, with the tires straight ahead I get the following read.
front passenger side is 1-1/4" lower
rear passenger side is 1/2" lower.
The jeep lists to the passenger side.
Ideas on why?
What could I do to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

I knew someone would say that.
My gas tank is on that side, and it doesn't lean.
Lots of JKs don't lean.
When I weighed mine with half a tank of gas, the left and right sides weighed the same. Filling the tank didn't make it lean.
The JK is leaning for some other reason.

Not to sound like a dick or anything because I have done things like this quite a few times by getting going on something and then losing concentration
but did you maybe put the two smaller springs on the passenger side and the two longer on the driver side instead of front to back?
