My driver side sits lower. The front wheel well sits aprox. 1" lower in comparision to the other side and the back wheel well sits aprox. 1/2" lower. It makes this side of the truck look like crap compared to the other side. It looks like its not lifted. What would be cause this? Is it just warn components that id have to replace to fix?

When I come accross something like this,I just look at both sides and all items it could be,like springs,shocks,bushings,everything that has to do with the susepnsion and frame.
Common problem on all XJ's. A 4.0L rotates clockwise (as viewed from the front of the engine). The torque from the motor applies downward force on the drivers side, therefore the suspension components on that side tend to sag quicker.

or its just simply your body components such as your fender flares or quarter panels just a little off. When I measured all of my wheelwells to the centercaps they all varied a little amount.
