Passenger rear leaning at the top? What do you mean? A pic would help. Is this a new change?

I've been running this setup all year. Just notice this tonight after we was wheeling this weekend. I got in a bind and was winched out bit wouldn't think that would of bent a housing. Attached is both wheels on level concrete and a pic of me being winched.

You probably have a bent axle flange.

Is the tire wearing evenly? It looks like it in the picture.
^EDIT: Just re-read that this happened over the weekend. Nevermind. I would get out a measuring tape and see if indeed the tire is leaning inward.

That's what I thought about but wouldn't it change as it was rolled?

Quite common to bend the rear axle shaft flange. Hopefully that's all it is, and the housing didn't bend. It is also possible to bend the housing. best way to find out is to jack up the rear of your Jeep, put in in neutral, and spin the tire. If it appears to wobble, you have a bent flange, if it stays bent in at the top but spins straight, you likely have a bent housing.

^^ this...I just bent my flange about 2 weeks ago. Wasn't a serious bind so I didn't think I did anything either, but sure enough it was bent. Good luck tracking down the issue
