Well if you measured and the distance was different then I would have to say you are not crazy.

Idk why the hell the one picture is horizontal..anyways someone look at this and let me know if it looks like one has more clearence, the one pic has a bad shadow on the top of the tire so make sure you dont think that this is the fender..I think now that I look at it they are even...any opinions?

Unless you stick a level on your Jeep to make sure it's not at an angle on the pavement, you're just going to overthink this and drive yourself crazy.

I dont think I blew a shock...I hit a large dip in the road purposely to make sure I didnt bottom out and there was zero noise and it responded to hitting the dip like normal..I guess im crazy.

I bent my rear springs on my 90. I think one is a little more bent than the other. This was not set up (stock) to hit stops or over-rides, just bent them overloading a trailer.

I dont see an issue with the tire clearance but the pic on top loos like the tire is slightly lower than the other.
