Stock JLUR passenger side lower than drivers side, rear is equal

[californiajeeping]

When I measure the front passenger side wheel well from the ground on a flat concrete pad on my 100% stock JLUR, it is 1/2 inch lower than the front drivers side. The tires have the exact same PSI, no one and no cargo on board. The two rear wells are the exact same height to each other so I don’t think this is the “Wrangler lean”.

Can someone with a stock JLUR measure and check to see if there is a similar difference? The gas was closer to empty than full and because the rear wells are the same height I wouldn’t think that gas weight would explain it.

I’m checking this because two different people said they felt it was leaning and I’m troubleshooting a driving characteristic that could be caused by aerodynamics. I might have a bad shock or something.

Yep lots of threads on this ... Tho I could be wrong since you don't think it's the Wrangler Lean

The other threads that I found were lifted Jeeps and weren’t stock. Are there any threads on stock Jeeps? The Jeep lean has the front and rear side as lower based on the few posts that I read. Mine is just the front passenger side. Hopefully I can find someone with a stock JLUR to measure so I can confirm.

I was thinking, the springs give you the lift, so would you want someone to measure their stock passenger front spring? I'm just taking a guess here

Agree with Texgoat. I wouldn't be concerned.

The passenger springs are slightly longer than the driver side.

From what I have read it has to do with the fuel tank being on passenger side.

There is no way this can be truly level, what if you sit in the driver seat, assuming you are an adult male, so probably instant add 150~200 lbs of mass to the driver side.

It is just easier to see this on Jeep than other car because it is high off the ground. I am sure your wife's sedan or whatever also has lean but you just wouldn't see it without measuring.

My 2019 did the same stock, and also after the Rock Krawler lift, I can't see it unless there is a tape measure in the front.

There's another thread asking why two Mopar front springs he got for his Jeep have the same part number. And the catalog shows left and right for the same number.

Not sure on that one. But I can tell you first had the springs are not the same left to right on our jlur. . We just did the lift last week. If you look into the different lifts out, they handle this quote lean different. My lift is the Icon lift and they a long with AEV and maybe some others give you the same length left and right. But give you a small shim for the right side. so its up to how you wanted it set. Rancho suspension is one that gives you specific springs left and right. the right side being slightly longer. Other kits give the same length left and right.

OP where did you ever get with this? (On your stock jeep, before lifting) Is it normal ok? My willys seems to sit a tad lower on passenger right as well but from everything I read on here it’s somewhat normal.
