try to take it in with a low gas tank so they don't have something to pass the blame to.

It's a Jeep thing, I guess you're starting to understand.

Every Jeep I have owned (CJs) also lean on one side. That being said, the skyjacker lift may be part of the issue as I haven't seen my new JK lean yet. Skyjacker lifts are notoriously soft and sag very quickly. At least with their old leaf springs. Not sure how their coil springs hold up, but skyjacker leafs usually only last a couple years at best.

Yeah thats definitely a good thought.
But I was doing some measuring today and examining how its set up and I don't think its going to be worth the headache of dealing with the dealership (I don't think I could have picked a worse dealership than the one I bought it from). I'm just going to ride with it for a while, and if it gets worse or annoying to me later down the road I'll just pay to put a couple spacers in.

Its good to hear this isn't an abnormality, sorta puts my mind at ease that I'm not the only one. These skyjacker coils definitely feel soft, which I suppose is beneficial for keeping the wheels on the ground when offroading, gotta take the good with the bad I guess.

Thanks. I have a few pics but they kinda suck. I have off today and its a really nice day. Was thinking about heading to the river and taking a set of really nice shots. I've been looking at the My.JK galleries and this community has some really fantastic rides
