Thanks for the pics and explanation. I'll definitely take a look at it, looks pretty rough.

I have a Teraflex 4"... it leans to the passenger side, worse when full. It's has more lean in the rear. About 1", on the front it's about 1/2". I've been rolling around under my jeep and can't see a problem... springs look like they are seated correctly, etc. I put a big jeeperman bumper with a 37" on it and it made the lean a little more pronounced.

Spacer in the rear? 1" maybe? I dont' know.

Seth.

Just got off the phone with Tera. They have JK specific spacers in three sizes:

1/2", 1" or 2.5"

The 1" part number is 001954100
the 1/2" part number is 001953100

I'm thinking a half in the front passenger and 1" in the rear passenger will level this bad boy!

PERFECT! I've only been able to find 3/4" ones which I was begining to think would be a little too much. Those 1/2"'s would be perfect.

Have you already ordered yours? These should work just fine with Skyjacker coils right?

How'd they end up working out for you?

I've finally decided that I need a front passenger 1/2" and a rear passenger 1/2" and am ready to order but I can't find them on any site. Did you actually call Teraflex to order?

don't you think that sticking spacers in there is kinda like putting a band-aid on a bigger problem?

i think that you should probably find out what is actually causing the problem and fix that, instead of just masking it with spacers on the passenger side.

but that's just me.

Yeah sort of. But I feel I really don't have any options. I'm a recent grad and just moved far away from parents (who would have the tools required to get to the bottom of the issue) and when I took it to the dealer they first said they didn't notice it was riding 1/2" taller on driver side, then when they did notice it they said it was normal and wouldn't do anything about it.

I'm pretty sure its not something wrong with my particular setup. I've heard from several people on this board they're JK rides about the same way, and I've seen several pictures of other peoples JK's on the forums that ride like mine as well. I dunno :/
