Default Quick question promise!
If my left sway bar is bent to hell is that going to cause the lift on the left side to be shorter? If that's not causing it, then I think im screwed.

Disconnect sway bar on both ends to see if it sits level then. If it does then find a JY replacement. If it still does not sit level then your problem is elsewhere.

If you disconnect the end links and it still sits crooked you obviously have a much bigger problem.
