Hey guys, I first off want to say that this looks like a fantastic community and I love the fact its primarily devoted to the JK. I bought mine only 2 weeks ago and I love the thing.

There is one thing that's bugging me though...

I bought it brand new from a Chrysler dealer, 4" Skyjacker suspension lift w/ nitro shocks on 35" Mickey Thompson MTZ's. Like I said I've had it for about 2 weeks absolutely love it but the more I study and get used to it the more flaw I see in the suspension. It seems to me that the right side of the vehicle (and I have measured) is around 1 1/2 inches lower than the left side.









Should I be concerned or just not worry about it? What might be causing this?

 

Welcome to the site. Mine sits the same way on a full tank of gas. THat is the only thing on the passenger side I can find that would cause the weight sag. If it is like this on an empty tank, than I would begin to look at the install of the lift.

 

I have the same problem. Rubicon Express 3.5" lift. Also noticably sags on the passenger side. I think its primarily the gas tank as well.

 

Well I'm kind of relieved that I'm not the only one that is experiencing it. Dunno why Chrysler put the gas tank, battery, and subwoofer all on the same side.

It doesn't sound like it bothers you guys too much, maybe I just shouldn't let it bother me.

But on the other hand do you think adding 1" spacers on the front/rear passenger side would help aesthetically?


(thanks for the quick replies by the way)

 

Hey Deepsky what grill insert is that? Mr. Grille?

 

I would take it back to the dealer to let them take a look, since it was a dealer installed item. They may back their installation. It's worth a shot, right?

 

Yupp thats them.

 

Well the whole custom package is under the 3yr/36k mile warrenty.

And actually, I have taken it to the dealer already. I was told that this was normal on these Jeeps but the one they replaced for sale when I bought mine was parked right next to me perfectly level.

So I dunno...the dealer seemed very reluctant to have the mechanic that does the custom work for the dealership to look at it, probably because it'd cost him money.

 

This would piss me off. My set up is dealer installed also. I bought the Jeep from them and they did every mod...I paid the asking prices and didn't haggle. I do expect them to honor every REASONABLE complaint or customer concern. They were nice to you when you were paying for everything....hopefully they continue to stand behind everything. Also, when they say it is costing them $$$ I like to ask "What makes your money more important than mine"? Good luck...remind them how much you spent there.
BTW...I have been fortunate dealing with my agency. They have been very accommodating.

 

Hrm...the more I look at it I think that it wasn't a bad install.

Theres just so much crap on the passenger side of the vehicle (battery, subwoofer, gas tank, tranny skid plate, etc). And the setup gives it a pretty soft suspension. I'm thinking maybe 3/4" spacers would help level it.
