Default After lift-back right sags

Just finished installing my TF 2.5" coil lift with Bilsteins and noticed the back right of my rig is about 1" lower than the back left, anyone have any suggestions as to where I went wrong. I noticed I remounted my rear trackbar on the top of the two axel mount holes, for 2.5 inches should it be in the lower of the two?

Would love to figure this out, any help is much appreciated

Check to see if your springs are seated correctly.

I've just installed replacement coil springs off of a 4 dr on my 2 dr. When I put the rear ones in I noticed I had to twist them a bit for them to seat properly. I hope this helps. Hopefully others will chime in to give you their advice as well.

Not sure about this exact lift but some manufacturers don't compensate for the gas tank on the passenger side and that is why some people have the gangster lean.

Looks like your Jeep has the dreaded "Chevy Lean" I would call their customer service and talk to a tech and see what he suggests to fix it. They might have to send you another spring.

If you just put on heavier tires and a new TC that's offset to the right side of the tailgate, that in conjunction with the gas tank could possibly cause the backright to sag a little; but the tire/wheel combo would have to be pretty heavy. I noticed it ever so slightly with my 37" Toyos. Dropped the spare off the back and the slight "chevy lean" went away. B!#ch getting it back on though.
