I installed a 3in full pack lift kit a few days ago. The XJ has a terrible lean from passenger side to driver side, its 2''s higher on the passenger side. I believe it has something to do with my passenger side shackle but im not 100% sure.
What are some things that could cause this?

I think it might be the shackle because I notice that shackle sits straight up and down and does not allow any movement really. Is this something I can fix without buying a new shackle or do should I buy a shackle? Or did I mess up something else?


Ill post pictures on my lunch break.


-Thanks

 

so the shackles at sitting differently than each other are they faciing the right way

 

I take it that its just in the rear? When you post photos of both rear leafs and shackles so we can compare them.

 

here's all I got right now. It's a bad picture. But you can kinda see the shackle angle

 

Looks like somthing is bound up or you forgot to change the DS springs. Did you torque all the bolts with the wheels in the air? OR with the weight of the rig ON them?

 

Yup I see your problem but can't tell much from that photo of what's causing it.

 

raise the jeep up and get a measurement of the leafs, the way I measure is run a straight edge from eye to eye and the where it mounts to the axle i measure to the straight edge. This looks like you have 1 leaf that is bigger than the other.

 

DS Springs?
I torqued only the u bolts with the jeep in the air. Everything else was torqued to spec once wheels were out on.

 

I don't think they are different sizes, before I started the lift I layed all the parts out next to eachother and I remember the leafs being the same size

 

Huh? Are you refering to this pic?^
a sideview would be much more helpful.

 

Looks like you got a bunch of fat chicks on the driver side lol.

Seriously though, need side shots of the springs/shackles to help you out.

 

Sorry its been awhile and no response. I've been swamped at work. Anyway found out my shackle had seized up, loosened the bolt took it for a drive, then parked it on a hill for a week, it pushed back and settled into position on its own
