I have a 2012 2 door Rubicon that I have had a Rough Country Budget Boost on for about a year now and a buddy noticed it had a slight lean to the left in the rear. Upon measuring the jeep in numerous places we have determined the left passenger side is 1/2 inch lower than the right. I have inspected the stock springs, shocks, spacers and shock extensions and have not found any damage present that I can see. Any thoughts on what may cause the 1/2 inch difference.

 

The passenger side is lower? Perhaps the added weight of the fuel is the culprit

 

does this kit have springs? or is this one of the 2" spacer ones?

I had a Rough Country kit on my TJ years and years ago and swore off them then... jeep was not level side to side and front to back.

Ever since I go with better names...

Was the jeep level before the install?

might be a good time to upgrade that kit

 

Yes it is the one with the spacers and shock extensions, I am using the stock springs and Rubicon shocks.

 

google jeep lean or gangsta lean. it is common on all lifts and even stock.

 

does it still lean when the sway bar is disconnected?

 

Don't know, but my buddy noticed the lean on the way home after we had wheel all day doing some rock climbing and moderate to heavy off-roading. I wonder if a spring could have shifted/turned to cause the lean. I know for sure it was level before we went off-roading.

 

I have checked everything that has been suggested so far, are there any other causes for the lean? I haven't removed the springs to check for any bending or out of roundness. Thoughts?

 

The only thing I can think of is the spring may have got messed up some how.

 

1/2" is normally and common. Been well documented many times.
