YJ tilts a bit to Driver's side

.. and this is on a 2" BDS lift. The tilt is very small, a couple of degrees at most, but if you look from the front or rear carefully you can see the tilt.

Any ideas why it would sit like this? I was thinking maybe the body bushings are worn more on the driver's side (it has 195,000 miles after all). But besides that, everything is (or should be) uniform, with matching shocks/springs/bushings, etc.

Thanks in advance,

Alheim

My YJ does the same thing, I refer to it as my gangsta' lean.

Mine was showing about 3/8" of lean to pass side. Turned out the busing in my shackle on the frame on pass side was worn completely through.

Problem fixed and as of tonight seems tob level.

UMMMMMMMMM no..... the rear passenger spring wears out faster because of the way everything twists under acceleration.....

Ah damnit, so I'm destined to have a fat girlfriend if I continue to drive my YJ? Maybe I should trade in for a civic?



(p.s. - any other serious suggestions? lol)

How bad is the lean? pics would help. If it is really bad, check the part numbers on the spirngs, maybe even call BDS and see what they think about it.

my jeep leaned too, except w. POS RC springs, call BDS, they got a lifetime warranty. but my lean was 2 or 3 inches lower on the driverside...probably WAY worse then yours, either way give BDS a call, they have awesome customer service.
