Default Front passenger lean 3/4" ??

I have a 98 Xj with a newly installed 4.5" lift with new leaf packs in rear and coil springs up front, my rear is not sagged at all but front passenger is sagged 3/4" compared to the driver side front. What can cause this?

Is the passenger side coil isolator missing or collapsed? I am in the process of installing a lift on my XJ and discovered one of my isolators was rotted out.

Did you replace the track bar? Did you adjust the track bar if so? Measure the distance from the face of the tire to the wheel well on each side, should be close to equal.

Did you torque all components down with the weight of the vehicle on the tires? Loosen all the major components on level ground, shake Jeep around, and retorque.

Last option, drive vehicle around for a couple days. Will likely even itself out. Make sure to go back after 500 miles or so and retorque everything.

So, did you ever get to the bottom of this?
