Why is my jeep trying to do a shoulder lean? What would or could make it do this?

It's an evo double d long arm kit with plush rides and has only been on for 3,000 miles. Haven't done any crazy trails or flexing but it has been on the trails since it was lifted. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

U got something heavy in the back right corner, like a hemi or something?

Ha ha I wish I had a hemi in a crate back there. And it's only got half a tank of gas.

Mine has the lean a bit. Your fuel tank is on the passenger side so with a full tank you may see it more.

It does have the teraflex leveling spacers as well.

Could try swapping the rear springs around, see if the issue fallows

Wouldn't take a few hours to drain the tank!

No both spacers are still in there.

Make sure the coil is seated correctly

Have any pics of the springs? Does it have a rear adjustable track bar?

Add a chubby gal in the rear driver side seat.... Problem solved!

What sway bar links do you have? Adjustable or just a standard size?

Passenger side leans are not that uncommon. If it's enough to bug you, and you have adjustable sway bar end links, you can shorten the side without the lean.

I think he has 2 chubby girls on the passenger side now...
Is it only the rear that is leaning?
Like said before, check your coil seating on both sides, worse case swap coils from one side to the other and see if the lean changes, you might have one coil that has compressed too much

Mine had the same issue both stock and lifted. Used adjustable sway bar links and a 1/2in spacer on passenger rear. All fixed!

All JK's have a passenger side lean and this will get more pronounced with a lift. As mentioned, if you have adjustable sway bar links, you can set the passenger side ones longer or driver side ones shorter and that will help.

that is excessive. I have had to JKUs and the first one had no leant with a TF 1.5" performance coil kit regardless if the tank was empty or full and my new rubicon with 2" lift has the same 1/2" front right passenger lean regardless if the tank is empty or full. It however is not noticeable to the naked eye like this one is. something else is going on besides fuel tank lol.
