Default Jeep leaning to the left?

Hey guys, I put a 3" rusty lift and AAL on my 2000 XJ about three months ago...have had some vibes at like 30 mph, but was waiting to address until I put on the front bumper and winch since they're HD front coils and sitting a full inch and half higher.

However, I've started to notice it seems like the jeep is ever so slightly canted to the drivers side when looking at it from the back. Someone helping me with the lift install said I might want to watch the ubolts the first couple months and possibly tighten - could that be it? Anyone know which way to tighten the nuts or how far?

Oh and, before some smart *** asks, the tires are inflated to the same PSI.

Is it sitting on a level surface? Is there anything really heavy in the inside of your jeep that's on one side? Go flex it out and break it in some and then see ?

Yeah, I wonder if the springs or leafs are just sitting funny. I'm going to hit up a trail tomorrow, we'll find out then.
