Default My 1984 Jeep Cherokee is leaning to one side

Hello, I have recently purchased a 1984 Jeep Cherokee 2.5l 4x4. It had a 3' lift added to it and the sway bars removed. After purchasing the jeep I noticed that it was leaning to the passenger side about an inch or so. Could anyone tell me how I can correct this problem?

Common problem on all XJ's. Swap your springs.
