my jeep it rust free, it has a 3.5 aal lift, 2'' blocks and 2'' shackles..... any ideas on what to check? those oil leaks under it are fresh to....

but front is sitting level. is it ok to drive like this?

looks minor, but tis getting worse. this picture is from yesterday afternoon.

Rusty's coils are good. But don't have experience with the leafs. Make sure you call them with your order... you usually get a better shipping rate.


As far as the lean problem it may be a broken leaf... It might not be obvious to see until you take the pack apart. If I were you that is what I would do. If nothing is wrong with it... new center pins, and leaf clips are cheap.
