Yes,, Dirtman is correct. You just screw down the upper spring perches on the passenger side till it sits level.

I had to mount a new swaybar link bracket on the driver's side of the front axle after installing my artec trackbar bracket, so I mounted the new tab slightly lower than the passenger side. Sits dead even.

After reading this thread, I now have to go out and look at my jeep. I always thought it had a lean and figured it sat in a weird spot in my driveway ( flat.. Dohhh).

This thread made laugh. My JK no longer has a single stock anything under it. The gas tank is in the rear now, it's on ORI struts, and it still wants to lean to the passenger side just about as much as it did when it was stock! I'm OCD and it makes me nuts. Now I just add a couple of lbs of additional pressure to the right rear strut to compensate, and when it was on coils and shocks, I would try to compensate for it by lengthening the quick disconnect on the passenger side.
