New JK Rubicon springs settling?
I bought a 2012 2-door Rubicon today and really it. I've owned several CJ's, YJ's, and TJ's, but this is my first JK. I noticed tonight when I got it home that the passenger front side was 1/2" lower than the rest of the vehicle. The tire pressure was fine. Could this just be the springs settling? Why only one corner?

Probably weighed down by a full fuel tank. Check the tags on the springs and repost back the last 2 digits on the springs.

They also have them setup with one front spring bigger than the other, possibly for the weight of full fuel tank. There's a thread here about stock springs. Go up higher on the last two #'s and you'll really enjoy it. I think the highest is 19 for the front, 60 for the back which is what I went with. Got a little over 2" of lift before my bumper and winch!
