Help! I'm lopsided!!
I've just noticed that my Jeep is sitting lopsided. I measured everything and the right rear is sitting an inch + lower. The lift I have on it is just a Rubicon 2 1/2" spacer budget lift with the Rubicon shocks.
Where do I start looking?

Here is a news
The aftermarket kit u put on has a part for the front and a part forthe back but is same from side to side so there is no compesation for the extra weight one side has over the other when u are not in driver seat. Cool huh
The gas tank and battery are on passenger side and the jeep counts on u to balance the load when u are in the jeep driver seat and jeep is moving
Most jeeps experience the lopesided look until u are in the jeep and moving to balance out the weight difference.

Look at your rear springs, you may have over compressed one. Also check the spacers for possible cracking. Jk's do have a lean, something happened to over exagerrate yours if it just happened.

ive got the same issue with my teraflex 2.5 coil lift...the right rear sits about 1/2 to 3/4 inch lower and the front sits about 1/2 inch lower..its been like that since the lift has been on. ive been thinking of just adding a small spacer to the right side springs

I crawled underneath just now. First, both tires have the same pressure. Both springs look the same, I can't see any cracks in the spacer and I can't see anything else that would be obvious.
I know some of you don't mind the lopsided look but women already have to deal with one boob bigger than the other, I don't want the same look for my Jeep
I wonder if I need to upgrade my stock springs. I am carrying a lot of weight on the Jeep.

What weight are you carrying and where is it located? Is this stuff hard mounted or just things you have in the Jeep? Take it out or move it around and see if the balance shifts.
