Driver side lean
So I have been building this 95 xj for months and last month I installed 7.5 inches of lift and blew the front axle shafts apart so it sat for two weeks before I had the time to install a new front axle and I did so and I installed the axle and it leans like 2-3 inches down on the driver side and I don't know why I took the trac bar off to see if that was pulling it down and that's not the case so I don't know what to do next all the suspension components are changed out with all new ones the only things that are not new is the front and rear axle haha

how much do you weigh ??
your weight is always on the drivers side, and if you have removed the sway bars, that side will sit low, and eventually stay sitting low due to driver weight

Here is some pictures of the jeep. I bought it stock and I started at 2 inches then I went to 4.5 and now I'm at 7.5 short arm. And I was thinking I was going to regret not doing long arm but I was so satisfied over last weekend of the performance that I'm happy with the short arm
