2012 Passenger side lean?

That can't be true. If it were, all JKs would have a visible lean.
When I put 4 scales under my JK, with half a tank of gas, the right and left sides weighed the same.
The tank is on the right, but only by a little bit. There are things on the left, too.

Could it be that the back right corner is where the jeep's weight moves when we accelerate? Fatiguing the spring on that side more quickly than the left??

My 4dr has a full tank of gas. Measuring from floor to top of my PSC rocker armor under each door, I notice the following. Driver's side front sits 3/8" higher than passenger front. Driver's side rear sits 1/2" higher than passenger rear. If I ever think about it, I'll have to measure this again when I have an empty tank to see if it evens out just a bit.
I'll still say this is pretty normal. That said....I will not allow this to flare up any OCD tendancies I might have! I just don't really notice it visually.

Should I find some time I have another set of stock springs with same numbers... might just pull the ones I'm running and compare them against the other ones as well as each other and see if there is a "height" difference while unloaded.

The JK lean is a common phenomenon. Just like a few others posted new springs or any other suspension parts are not going to fix it. If it bothers you so much then drop your stock gas tank replace with a genright tank in the rear. After about $2500 bucks your leans will be gone
