Default Jeep sits lower on one side..

My jeep likes to lean to the left. It leans a good 2-3 inches. What would cause it to lean like that? I do not have any sway bars on it, It has about 7inches of lift all together..

Theres so many different things. Have you looked around the leafs and shackles and the coils and everything? You run any spacers?

did you tighten everthing on the lift when it was in the air or on the ground? To be sagging 2 or 3 inches is a lot, something has to be wrong with the install or the equiptment.

Hah a 500lb guy trying to wedge his way into a XJ is a funny thought.

Right, to be technical(with my springs) You would have to be sitting only on one spring, and weigh 450(150lbs/inch)

The whole jeep leans to one side or is it just one corner that is short?

It would have to be a combination if things if one whole side was shorter than the other, an almost impossible combination of things rly.

I've seen things done to vehicles as a result of the girth of their driver...
I was just throwing it out there.

I measured it and it's about one and half inches. I, myself only weight 180lbs. The owner before me was a big fella though. Why would tht affect anything?
