one less cheesburger in the copilot might help too.

I'm in the "all Jeeps just do it" camp. My YJ leaned to right. My friend's TJ leans to right. My Rubi leans to the right. Every JK I ever checked out leans to right to some degree or another.

Get a fatter driver?

Tilt your head about 5 degrees and it all goes away!

we actually put my buddy who owns the jeep in it (driver's seat) and it still leans almost .5" to the right. and this was with 1/4 tank. i think we'll just fab a .5" spacer for under the rev-tek spacer. are guys with full spring lifts (like the tera 3" or re 3.5") stil having leaning issues??

Mine leaned before the lift, and it still leans after the lift.
