Sagging on right side !!
Anyone have an issue with there unlimited leaning to the right a 1/2" or more ? Swapped springs under warranty and still doing it. It's a 13' , bought new with 12 miles on it. Open to suggestions...

A common affliction. It is more pronounced with a full tank of gas. I didn't notice mine until after I installed my 2.5 " lift, a 1/2 inch Teraflex spacer cured it.

I didn't notice mine until I lifted it either. I went with the 2.5" TF puck lift and noticed it then. Thought it was because of the weak stock springs. So convinced the wife that it was the puck spring combo , and that a spring lift would cure all... So ordered new lift with brake lines , full set of control arms , drive shaft , etc.... And low and behold , it still does it. And yes predominantly with a full tank of gas. I even had the nerve to ask my wife , while going down the road one afternoon , hey , does the jeep feel like it's leaning to your side ? Man , that was like standing in explosives warehouse with a lite match.

The stock height numbers assume a full tank of gas. Lots of JKs don't lean to the right with the tank full or empty, mine included.
Something must be different with those that lean.

Any ideas.... Because it's got me stumped.. I thought it was once again the lift manufacture had a bad batch of springs. Anyone else have issues with RE springs or components ?

I did that several years ago with 1/2 tank of gas. Both sides weighed the same. Filling the tank wasn't enough additional weight to make it lean.
Are you sure your axles are centered after the lift?

I need to double check the front , and the rear came with an axle mounted Trac bar bracket. So no adjustment there. The front was within an 1/8".

Does your RE kit include new links for the REAR swaybar?
I had a noticeable lean on my passenger side until I installed some adjustable links to get rid of the pre-load.
You could try disconnecting the links and see if it makes any difference for you.

Had that issue when i did my lift too. He didnt adjust the sway bars properly and it pulled my passanger down. Made the jeep drive a little funny too.
