If its leaning to the passanger side that's a normal jk thing they lean that way. If you recently did a lift it will make it more noticeable

most likely putting the wheel spacers on, just made it more noticeable that the axle has shifted more to one side. Assuming you have a lift? Yes an adjustable rear trackbar will be needed to fix this.

Trackbar brackets help to keep your axle centered when lifting, but won't keep it exact, help raise roll center, and help reinforce your stock mount. To fix your current problem, you will need an adjustable rear trackbar. Roughly $165.
