Jeep lean?
 
I'm not exactly sure where to post this up at but I picked up a 99 XJ with a 6.5" short arm. It has a slight lean to the right. Not a significant lean but a little under a inch. Anyway to tell exactly what it is? I'm guessing a sagging spring? Don't want to just throw money at it.

Don't leave dead passengers strapped in!

I take it you bought this XJ already lifted? Does it lean more toward the front or rear? How are you measuring?

Mines always sagged to the right and it's even more so because the bumper and tire carrier mounts on that side and always has so I think that's just the suspension sagged out

Yes it's lifted already. It leans kinda even. Haven't used a tape measure but I've put a can up to it to measure. I'll use a tape measure tomorrow.

Shot bushings, tightened improperly, wacky control arms, "everything"
