I just installed 2.5" AEV lift. and I noticed that the front driver side is a bit higher than the passenger. Is it normal?? Will it level itself out after a while? What could it be? I had a shop install it for me. Any help would be appreciated.

 

How much higher?

 

Are both of your front springs indexed into the spring buckets on the axle?

 

You have a full tank of gas? The gas tanks sit on the passenger side which can cause a small lean

 

not that much taller. maybe 0.25 - 0.5 of an inch.
Gas tank is almost on E!
I checked the springs, they are seated correctly.

I talked to AEV, they are saying it's a Jeep thing!!!

 

I have the same AEV 2.5 lift and when I have a full tank of gas I get the "JK Lean" to passenger side. Levels out pretty quick when I haul ass and burn gas with the 35s. LOL

it is normal. I would not sweat it unless it was 1" or more.

 

Mine was 3/4" lower on the passenger side with my 2.5" AEV. I hated so bad, I'd never fill the gas tank past half, which didn't help much, because on almost empty, you could still see the lean. When I was in it, it almost leveled out, but as soon as a passenger crawled in, the lean was back. I finally put a 3/4" spacer in the passenger rear, which fixed it. I fought doing it because I don't believe you should have to do that with a quality lift. The response of "it's a jeep thing" is a bunch of bull. I can understand if every jeep has the lean, but not all do. We all have gas tanks on the passenger side. I call BS on BS!

 

Odd that it would lean because of an even lift, my rubicon sits level stock (I even have a cheesy inclinometer gauge I got for looks on my dash that confirms it is level) and stays level empty, full gas, low gas, me in drivers seat full and low gas, and I am still in the 350s (aiming at 275 by next april, burn baby burn). Seems like the shop/lift screwed something up to leave you lopsided enough to see on a level.

 

there are many stock unlimited right on the showroom floor that have the jeep lean. it has been discussed for years. My 2013 jku did not have a lean, my 2014 jkur did prior to a lift. it is really an indication on the QC of Chrysler.
