I have a 2011 JK Unlimited Rubi with a 4" Pro Comp Stage 2 Long Arm kit and it leans to the right. Thoughts?

Springs are on the wrong side I believe some kits include slightly taller springs for the side that has the gas tank.

Mine does that with a Rough Country lift. Springs are the same left/right. I ended up helping it with JKS spring perches (cut off the old and bolt on this one). It still sags to the right, but only by about 1/2 inch.

Fuel tank does it. Note that out of the factory, the springs left/right are not the same.

I'm not sure anyone vendor does this, I could be wrong..

As suggested swap sides and see if that helps

Besides swapping the springs don't do anything else suggested...... Find and fix the real problem. How much of a lean are we talking about?
