Hi - I've recently bought JK (2.5" lift) (and I'm a JK newbie) - after driving for a few weeks, noticed I had a 1" lean to the RHS which wasn't there when I bought it. Noticed that the LHS sway disconnect bolt snapped. Easy fixed with some new ones, but the lean is bothering me. I know it shouldn't have tension on the disconnects when on flat ground. Had a quick look at the front coils, they seem to be different looking (ie the RHS has compressed coils at the top vs the LHS that doesn't - even when I lift the RHS up to level). Appreciate your thoughts.

 

Apparently you shared pics that aren't showing. Regardless, a lean to the right is common on the JK when the gas tank is filled. That may be all that you're seeing.

 

Thank you - trying again with the photos. only 1/2 tank of gas.

 

Kinda looks like 2 totally different springs. Hard to tell in the pic, but I can't see a little lean compressing 4 coils on the passenger side. I would jack it up, and droop the axle down to look at those under no load. I don't believe this is your issue, but if the axles aren't centered under the jeep (left to right) that can contribute to a lean.

 

You can help the lean just a tad by making sure the pigtails on the bottom of the coils are clocked in a certain way. Clock the pigtail on the driver's side on the back side of the perch and the pigtail on the passenger side on the front side of the perch. Maybe a 1/4" could be gained. Most jeeps lean to the right though. When you are in the driver's seat it may go away.

 



 

I mean, centering the axles is a valid thing, but there is no way at all you're compressing 4 coils on that left side (driver's in this case with RHD) under a bit of lean in the body.
