Pitch and Roll off?

[JustinJ]

Mine is always like that, I’ve noticed the same thing. Straight from the factory. Body weight would be an interesting explanation.

Do you mind telling me what year is your jeep? I don’t know if it is from factory or from the spacer lift kit? Always shows 1 degree roll off to the left with me in or not

If I recall correctly the stock springs are 155-185lbs per inch front and rear. That's a combined rate of 340lbs/inch. A driver that weighs half that would drop the drivers side about .5" I'm guessing that's good for at least 1⁰?

I weigh 185LBS and when I am not in the vehicle, it still rolls to the drivers side for 1 degree off. Not sure why?
Yours the same?

Years ago I had a friend who's mom drove a Cadillac, one of the big land yachts. The tire shop couldn't seem to get the front end aligned. Her son would bring the car in, they'd align it, but it continued to wear the tires. Finally, they asked how much his mother weighed. They had to align it with her in it. Does any of that apply here?

lol I weigh 185lbs so I am fit

get one of those FAB digital angle reporter and see if the Jeep is really off. Quick search did not provide any dance move to have the angle to be relearned like the internal compass.

Yea. Just not sure if it is due to factory/manufactory imperfection or the spacer lift kit caused it?
Will this impact anything in the long run you think?

To be honest I couldn't tell you, I've never looked at it unless I was wheeling and even if it was off 1⁰ I'd assume it was either not perfectly flat ground or it was because I was in the drivers seat.

I think your experience is the closest to mine among all the replies. Well, I only got a basic spacer lift kit, no shock etc. I don’t know if I leave it as is, will it cause problem later on?

Shouldn’t cause any issues outside of appearance.

Mine drove completely fine with the mild lean, I only really noticed it while parked, and most people called me crazy when I mentioned it, not noticing it for themselves.

As far as why the spacers may have caused it, I would guess it’s a quality control issue, and one of the spacers is either slightly larger or smaller than its match on the other side.

Not sure if it would work with the spacers you have, but Metalcloak sells shims that could solve the problem. If you’re really curious, you could also try swapping driver/passenger side spacers to see if that changes anything.

Another guess is that one of the springs may not be seated properly post spacer installation, leading to a small increase in height.

Not sure this would impact anything, but your axles will be slightly off-center after any sort of height change without using adjustable track bars, and maybe that has a slight impact as well. Honestly just spit-balling ideas at this point, though.

Not for 1 degree. This is probably the errors margin of the sensor

I am being OCD I guess well it’s a Jeep

I can understand the OCD. But not what triggers it, is the pitch and roll number or the impression the lift is not even?
