Hey guys this is about my 3rd xj,1st one I lifted myself. I have a brand new rc 4.5 lift kit with full leafs. I installed the rear set up and everything looks good. On the front I installed the lca's that came with the kit along with the new shocks and coils. I also bought new coil isolaters to replace the old ones. I got a new adj trac bar and did the rock n bounce to settle the axle in place like I read on here and it looks pretty well centered, but the front pass side is leaning a good amount. I measured the top of the stock tires that I still have on it to the bottom of the fenders without the flares and the pass is around 8 1/2 inch and the driver is around 12 so its like a 3 1/2 inch lean. Coils are seated in right and all that, even messed with the air in tires and still no change. Any ideas???

sounds like it's going to be a frozen shackle in the rear (yes, that would effect the oposite corner on the front), Or the track bar is not adjusted right? I could also be defective parts, I dunno, let's see pics.

Ill try to get some if I could today. Ill take a look at the shackles, the one was was really hard to move and I'm gunna unhook the tracbar and adjust it again and see if it sits normal. Im most positive it sat normal untill I drove it around the lot and over a lil dirt mound, so the shackle idea might be the cause. Ill mess around with it and report what happens. Thanks

Fixed!! The driver side shackle was forward to far, i loosened the bolt and drove it over some bumps and parked it on a flat surface and now it sits like a champ again! Thank You!!!

yeah, I had to replace both stock shackles on mine because they were rusting through, and also the bushing inside them was siezed around the bolts like that so they weren't getting the full range of motion. Glad ya got it figured out.
