Askew jeep
I mount 2,5" TeraFlex lift with OME shocks. I am surprising that rear right side of jeep is almost 1" lower than others. Something wrong with one coil? Strange think, becouse before lifting jeep was askew also - but not so much (maybe 1/4").
So... is askew suspension something normal or not??? (my honda crv is also lower about 1,4" on rear right side)
Please tell me: should I complaining (coil or shock ) or is that quality standard??? Why 3 coils and shocks are the same, and one is other?

It's a jeep thing. Almost all JKs lean on the right. It is due to the fuel tank. Have someone get in on the driver's side or check when you are low on fuel. I can also recheck your springs to make sure they are seated correctly, but I bet it is just the jeep lean.

Try this: Rotate both rear coils so they are pointed/turned the same direction. Use the end of the coil as a reference point. Because the coils are pig tail style and do not sit flat. JK's/TJ's tend to have a little right lean to them.

I've seen this talked about plenty on here...
BUT could the stock track bar being reconnected be exagerating the "jeep lean"? If so, a track bar relo bracket or adjustable track bar would alleviate some of this.

Without an adjustable track bar, you are actually pulling the frame side (right) down toward the axle . It also adds stress to the track bar bracket that is already weak. Get a weld in bracket brace and an adjustable track bar, and toss the relo bracket. You'll ride more level (though never perfect) and be safer at the same time.

If you are measuring the space between your fenders I would instead measure to the frame rails. The fenders are not a good refrence point for measuring lifts since they tend to never be in the same position ever on a vehicle. One side may show an inch or two more at the fender, and be level according to the frame which is a more accurate way to measure.
