JK's are notorious for leaning to the right with a full tank. JLs have been purposefully built for a left-sided lean, to accommodate for a full tank.

I seem to recall early Land Rover's having this issue. It was my understanding that the Rover engineer's designed the vehicle to ride level with an occupant in the driver's seat. European FCA engineers?
Back to 'Merica... after having filled the fuel tank, have a humanoid sit in the driver's seat. Retake measurements. Are they now equal?

We just picked up our new Rubi last night. As we were driving home from Vegas to SoCal my wife was driving behind me. She was commenting on my Jeep leaning low on the passenger side. All tire pressures are the same.

So when I got home sure enough the Jeep has a 3/4” lean to the right.
Front left 40”. Front right 39 1/4” rear left 39 1/2” rear right 38 3/4”

I will be lifting the Jeep in the next few months, should I even care?

In the pictures to me, it also appears to have scratches behind the tape, that could be reflections from the flash, but the other side does not have them, I would check.

@JeepDrvr2018 Thanks. Ii is all good. Plus she is going in for complete detail and PPF all the way around so then we will be ready for off road, big tires and DIRT!!!

Believe it or not all my jeeps leaned ....its a solid axle.... it will never be balanced....

Mine leans right as well. I do notice when putting the vehicle in drive, the whole thing lurches forward and down. I can only guess that it's leveling out?

Filled her up this morning. It took away about 1/4” of the lean. Now it leans about 1/2”

Have someone measure it while your sitting in the drivers seat. Common to have the vehicle sprung to ride fairly level side to side with a driver. Since.....you can't really drive the vehicle without being in the drivers seat......yet anyway. HAHA.....

2018 Jeep JLUR never really looked until I got the the lift installed yesterday and I noticed it, 1/2 inch higher on the the drivers side. Checked all the springs and perches and they are in the correct positions. Sounds normal so I won't worry.

Mine has a gangsta lean

nothing but software problems that both FCA and dealer can't fix.
Keep your JK.

Clever .

Filled her up this morning. It took away about 1/4” of the lean. Now it leans about 1/2”

Fill it up again , and that will take away another 1/4" .

Fill it up a third time , and it will be level .

Lurches forward and down is when you go over a rock and then down a cliff , lol .

it's a jeep. It will lean towards passenger side. and overtime front will be sagging. All of them do. you either use coil spacer to level them all, or you just have to ignore it.

just discovered my JLU rubicon was leaning on passenger side yesterday. about 7500 miles on the clock,
