leaning jk
i helped a buddy install a rev-tek 2.5" spacer lift on his 08 jk unlimited. now it leans to the right slightly, about .5". i say it must have been like that before, he just didnt notice. he says no. anyways, is this a common problem? we swapped springs on the front side to side and it made no difference, even though the springs have different part numbers. if he orders a set springs, like the teraflexs or something, will it fix it?? thanks guys.

This is a common thing. The fuel tank is on the right side and tends to make that side sag a bit. Try checking it with less fuel or with someone in the left side to compensate for the fuel.

Common explanations:
Here's the $1 question: how do you fix it?
- Gas Tank on right
- Battery on right
- Engine torques to right
- Towing pulls to right (related to engine torque?)
- An extremely fat person sits on right (actually saw a "virtual fistfight" in another thread on this one)
- Driver sits on left so right lower to compensate
- "All Jeeps just do it" (from a local offroad shop)
- Garage tilts to right
- Your eyeballs tilt to right

or, if you install a EVO flex coilover system, they are completely adjustable and you can get rid of the lean that way too
