2021 JLU Sahara (stock plastic bumpers, no added weight) with JKS standard duty 2.5" springs, Fox 2.0 shocks, RK spring pads front and rear. Passenger front is about an inch lower than driver side with 1/4 tank of gas...full tank makes it much worse. Passenger rear is also about 3/4" lower than driver side. Ever since putting the lift on it has had a hard right pull, even at 2mph. Everything has been triple checked from tire pressure to torque on every control arm. Lift has maybe 1500 miles on it now. JKS said to add a a spacer to that side. My concern is the "top rate", the tightly wound coils, are already so close to touching with no weight (people, gas, etc) in the Jeep. I'm considering asking JKS for a 3.5" spring for the front passenger, or buying a completely different set of springs that have passenger side taller springs like Teraflex. Any suggestions?

Also with the lean the passenger front sway bar angles up about 20-22* compared to 10-12* on driver side.

Probably going to order a set of F/R Synergy springs as they are one of the few that address the lean.

Ended up ordering a set of JKS 2.5” HD springs to replace the 2.5” SD…they look shorter than the SD spring. Hopefully they are a higher spring rate because I’m done messing with this. Why doesn’t every manufacturer accommodate for the lean???

Why did you end up going with JKS? Not sure I’d have went that route personally if you saw such a big difference in ride height. Only asking since JKS doesn’t appear to be very popular on the forums.

I used their kit on my JK with excellent results.

I just got the HD spring installed on the front passenger which helped about half of the lean but seems like it made the passenger rear lean more…about ready to throw all 6 springs up for sale cheap and buy a set of 2.5” RK.
