Got the lean
On my JK, my front passenger side droops by an inch. all other 3 corners are the same.
I did three measurements that have me confused...
1) I measured from the lower axle spring perch to the bottom of the top sprint perch and it is the same on both sides
2) I measured the distance from on top of the tire to the bottom of the fender (one is not bent, they are the same) and it is a full inch different.
3) I measured from the ground (level) to the bottom of the bumper and it is off by a 1/2 inch.
You can see the difference from looking at it from the front...
Has anyone else run into this? It is a rubicon with the e-discos. This happened on my last lift and still there after installing the new lift so I am pretty sure it is not the lift components. Any advise would be great!

gas tank is on the passenger side so there is more weight and also what side of your winch has the motor ? with an empty tank you should be about an 1/8 " lower on the passenger side so full that is 22 gallons that is a lot of weight that is my

Possible bent swaybar....or, if like my Jeep, if the swaybar is disconnected then it leans to which ever side has more weight.
Edit: Also, you did just get into an accident, i'd think about having your frame looked at a little closer.

I'll check my swaybar, but this was going on before the accident. I am starting to wonder if it is the e-disco or the actual Jeep.
