Passenger side of Jeep higher then drivers after lift
Hi everyone,
I installed the 2.5" teraflex BB with shocks and spacers on my '08 rubi following the instructions on project JK.
I've noticed that the passenger side of the Jeep sites higher then the drivers side and it looks like its a little slanted.
Is there anything that I need to add or fix to flatten the stance out a bit?

Make sure your rear springs are lined up the same ... end of top coil pointing forward. Make sure your front springs are fully seated in the lower perch.
Drive it around and wheel it a little and see if it settles ...

I'll check the orientation of the springs, I installed it about 8 days ago and have done a lot of driving since so would think they would of settled by now.

Gas tank is about 3/4 full at the moment.
I just measured it and on the front the passenger side is about 3/4" higher then the drivers and in the rear the passenger side is about 1" higher then the driver side.
I found a couple topics on the search but they were mostly about the passenger side being lower, not higher then the drivers

Not even close to sagging my springs, about 140lbs Yes I am fairy thin lol
There was no noticeable difference in the passenger/driver height before I installed the lift though so im guessing it has something to do with the lift or the new geometry.

Well, take comfort in that you're backwards. That is, most folks complain about the passenger side being lower. Although this isn't true with any coil lift I've installed, it seems that the stock coils are different for left and right side--maybe to compensate for that lean. Any chance you may have swapped them?

The constant direction of the engine's rotation makes the passenger side sag over time. This the same thing that happens to TJ's. I specificially lifted my JKU 1/2" more on the passenger side to offset this.
If you are higher on the passenger side by 1/2" or less, I'd be VERY happy with it.

When I had the coils taken out, each side was left on the corresponding side of the Jeep. I don't 'think' I had them side by side in which case i could of swapped it but I can't say for sure. I don't remember there being any markings on the coils to say which one was left/right either but I also didn't pay too much attention to it as I didn't think there was a difference.
