Its a long shot but check to see if the coils are all still seated right, during flex it is possible that one did not re-seat right.

Good luck with sorting this out. I've never noticed my JK leaning at all, but used to own a Chevy Avalanche that did. It drove me up the wall. Could never get it to sit right, or figure out what caused it.

This sounds dumb but have you checked tire inflation?

I've never measured, but mine has leaned noticably from day 1.
I just tell myself it levels out after i get in

At least i feel a little better about it because once in, i can't see it leaning any more.

I had the same concept my 240lbs self levels it out when I get in problem solved
And tire inflation is good

Mine leans also. Mine has a TeraFlex 3" lift on it. I measured from the frame to the ground, and it seems ok, but measure from the flare to the ground, and there is a difference from left to right. Could it be a body issue & not a suspension issue?? I'm gonna look a little closer & try to figure it out!

I agree with one of the previous posters, it depends on the grounding as to how and when it leans. I notice it sometimes in different parking lots and like a fool I find myself holding out my hand to the top of the front or rear fender and then measure where it lands on my chest, I hold my hand there and walk around and see if the other fender is the same height. I think its optical illusion because I have actually measured it and it is barely off. My friend calls his lean his Jeep's gangsta lean.

Mine also leans. Doesn't bother me since most I see lean just the same. It's a jk thing I think.
