Default 99 XJ suspension problem?

So I have a stock 99 XJ with 173*** miles on it, its still running strong but I noticed that it leans a little to the right. Could this be a suspension problem or my alignment? I wanna take care of it as soon as I can before it gets to be an issue. Thanks for the help!

Definitely not an alignment issue. I'd be looking at springs, shocks, tires. Something is bent or worn out. Not being a smart*** but it could be something as simple as a low tire.

Lol its definitely not the tires, I check them often. I did have it on a lift a few weeks ago and noticed that the rear right tire hangs lower, I just didn't have much time to check it out. I'll definitely check out the suspension this weekend. Thanks!

I'm actually getting them from someone on here. Springs for $75, 4 shocks for $75, got zj front coils from someone else on here for $20. I'm quick disconnects and 2" spacers away from a dirt cheap 3" lift.
