Hey guys like the title says my jk has a pretty noticeable lean towards the passenger's side. All of the collars for the height adjust on the coilovers measure the same. Is this normal? Should i just adjust the passenger's side coilovers front and rear to level out the jeep or is there a bigger issue here?

I'd say it's because of the gas tank on the passenger side?

Mine does the same thing even when low fuel in the jeep. Check the PSI in the coilovers. You may have a slight leak.

Do you need a special guage to check the psi?

Your Jeep is leaning because you have all your coil overs set the same. You'll want to add a bit of preload to the passenger side to help compensate for the very common JK LEAN - something you have and can see on ANY Jeep especially if it's lifted, some more than others.

Bingo, add slightly more preload to the passenger side and you should be able to level it out.

Mine noticeably leans to the passenger side as well. Haven't done anything to adjust it yet. Need to get a better jack that will go up high enough to unload the rear suspension.

Interesting. First time hearing about this passenger side "lean" that is common on JK's. I haven't noticed that in mine honestly.

Yeah as everyone has told you, you have the "jk lean." Mine does too.
