Default rear right squating

Ok so I have a question/issue that I need some input on adreessing. I put 37s on a few weeks back and all is good with them but my wife was following me earlier today and said my right rear was squating- any ideas what might be causing this and what I can do to fix it. No sure if maybe my spring has gone bad or if it could be the shock. Just some of my own ideas. Anyone else have this issue?

Did the right rear coil spring twist a little off it's base?

our JK's are notorious for the JK lean (to the right) mine has it......I have seen it on multiple other rigs too....mine doesnt lean much, but I know it is there, and at times bothers me, but I know it's nothing to be worried about....

I take into account our fuel tank is on the passenger side, plus my all steel tire carrier with weight of heavy a$$ toyo 37 is resting on that side too....

I would get under and do a thorough inspection of you rig regardless, you never know

So does mine. Ive got a set of adjustable rear swaybar links and I think I'm gonna turn the right one out a little longer and see if that helps.

Thats a good idea- might give that a shot over the weekend and see if that helps at all
