Mine as well- installed an OME this past weekend and I've got a .5" lean to the right.

I'll have to remember to measure again next time I run out of gas.

So, i know my lean is bad.... My wife noticed it today.

I was at at 1/2" lean to the passenger rear with my 2.4" TF spacers... Added 3/4" to the front to level everything and it dropped another 1/2". So now I have 1" lower on the passenger side rear.

I also noticed the passenger side seems "softer" complared to the drivers side.

Think I will save up for some 3" rear springs.

Simple fix for the lean: Drill a hole 1" higher on the bottom rear passenger sway bar mount bracket and mount the sway bar there. 1" of sway bar change takes out about 1/2" of lean, so it's perfect for me.

Nice of Jeep to make the bracket big enough for such a mod.

+1 Cheap solution if it bugs the crap out of you (like it did me).

Ditto, I got about a half inch this way. With 1/4 tank I am level now. With a full tank it still sags about a half inch.
