Default Lift question

Ok I have the 2.5 in teraflex suspension lift with 35s and I have adjustable track bar and quick disconnects.

Now my question is my jeep leans to the right about 1" Do basically it sags to the right 1" lower then the left so I called Tera flex and they sent me spacers and I put them in but I feel like its just rigged up and I don't like that idea...

So does anyone know a way of fixing this or does someone out there have the same problem and found a solution ???

Any help would be great thanks!!

Chances are it is your stock springs causing this problem and has nothing to do with Teraflex. Most jeeps come with a spring that is 1/2 coil longer on the right than the left to make up for the weight of the gas tank. Look at your tags and that will tell you if they are the same or if one is taller. The last 2 digits are how you tell. Take mine for example. 2012 stock sport springs, last 2 numbers were both 14, so my jeep leaned to the right like yours. I bought and installed 2012 rubi springs, 17 on left 18 on right, now my jeep is level and lifted 2 inches..

Just recently I found out that my Pro Comp 2.5" was set to the left 1" on the shocks and suspension. I simply took it to a tech. and had it straightened by him. Also, I had my alignment fixed because the shocks and suspensions set to the left 1" was causing my JK to lean to the left and drive poorly. I'm not sure if this helps, but maybe it does?
