My right front corner is a good 1/2" higher than my left front. I went in there to put in spacers, and I checked everything out in there. The spring is seated properly, I rotated the stock isolators so the end was on fresh, unworn seat. The bottom of the spring is in the groove, there's no crap in there creating incidental liftage.

Any thoughts?

I'm going to retorque my sway bar end links when it's on the ground, but the difference in height was there to begin with.

Maybe I just need to put some shims under the low side and call it a day.

How does the rear look? Usually it's due to worn out leaf springs.

It's an XJ thing. Mine sits an inch lower on the passenger side...

I rebuilt the packs (one leaf was broken) and did a AAL using an extra Cherokee leaf. I'm sure one is a little worse than the other, because like you say some of the components are likely worn...

Does anyone make adjustable shackles? I just want to corner weight it to a reasonable level... even out tire wear for the long haul.

"It's an XJ thing" is unreasonable. I think it's an XJ thing because no one properly maintains their XJs... LOL

...which makes sense if it's a woods/rock rig and isn't your daily.

A mechanic friend explained to me a while ago that it was due to the force of the propulsion of only one wheel spinning, or something like that. But it was not just a jeep thing according to him.

It's really not unreasonable. But, one huge cause of this is a slight twist in the unibody. Sometimes unibodies suck and you just gotta deal with the punches.

As Lowrange mentioned, does the rear sit level? If it doesn't the front won't either. Left rear 1/2" low by chance?

xjsnake

It's normal, both of mine sit that way as well.

taiden

Is it common to cornerweight or just level the corners with spacers or shims?

taiden

The rear isn't totally level, but quite the opposite of what you'd imagine. The passenger rear is the lowest of the two, and not by much. I'll post measurements.

taiden

My mistake, I should have measured before I spoke. The visual difference seems large, but I'm also really **** about this kind of thing. I set the lowest point to 0".

I think I'm going to take the stock spring isolator out of the right side.

make sure coils are seated properly and retainer clips are in place. Hopefully you just have an out of aligned spring sitting on your perch

Thanks for the reply. I've already checked this, sadly it's not the answer.
