I noticed that my jeep is leaning to the passenger side by about 2in. what would normally cause this? Hopefully its just something simple that needs to be tightened or maybe like a bad shock.

Time for your girlfriend to go on a diet! :eek: :D

Most shocks don't support the weight of the jeep. If you've been wheelen a lot lately chances are your springs are wearing out. Keep in mind though that weight placement in the jeep really can effect the stance. My old springs were so worn out that when I rode by myself my side was about 2 inces lower. My turn for the diet!

try sitting in the DRIVERS seat every once in a while :D did you cut too much off the body pucks when you put your rockers on?

hey, the girth of my womanly loves is null to the fact that jeepy can't support her :p

no they are stock springs with a 2in BB and I have been wheeling/flexing it a lot these past few months, so that may be it. I need a real lift anyway!

Your springs are probably sagging on the passenger side... most likely the rear passenger side. They will do this after a while since the torque of the engine on takeoff lifts the drivers front corner and compresses the passenger rear corner.

I had this same problem on my 01 TJ about 8 months ago...

Solution... New set of springs.

I guess I have an excuse to get rid of my BB and get actual lift springs now, :D

Thanks for the advise guys.

I have heard that you can put ZJ spring (Ithink) on your TJ to get more travel out on the trail. Is this true?

I swapped my rear springs left to right about year ago and still sits straight.

Nope, not travel Your shocks limit your travel presently and no matter what coils you put on travel will not increase unless you also change shocks as well
