ever since i got my jeep, i noticed it leans to the passenger side just a little, and now that i put on my lift its more noticeable.
i have no idea what it is, but i do know its not a spring issue. any ideas?

not always. what happens about 75% of the time is when you put down alot of torque to the wheels, hard starts, bigger tires with stock gearing, ect. the jeep put most of the power to rear passenger side and leans the jeep to the passenger side due to the engine moving over. So now you combine that small axle wrap plus the engine/jeep movement you wear out the spring steel on that side ALOT quicker than the driver side. again this is not every case but about 75% of the time it is. you can swap leaf spring from once side to the other and then you will eventually do the same thing to "good leaf spring" and level it out... But I would just get brand new leaf packs if you just did an add a leaf.
