Oh. My brain was slow today. Spacers. You didn’t change the springs. Yeah, then waiting to tighten until it’s on the ground will likely do it.

JK and JL are the same... filler on driver, tank on passenger.

Without adding any context I’m just going to post a photo post trackbar/ control arm loosening and ask what people think. @Summitdan @Ar4130

Looks much more level. 100% loosening one side and not the other can cause the bind in the rubber bushings and create the lower look on the side you loosened.Without adding any context I’m just going to post a photo post trackbar/ control arm loosening and ask what people think. @Summitdan @Ar4130

Yeah, definitely some stupidity on my part lol. I’m learning a lot (and collecting a lot of tools on top of the million I had) in the 6 months I’ve had this Jeep. ?

I think you fixed it. See, forums don’t always suck.Without adding any context I’m just going to post a photo post trackbar/ control arm loosening and ask what people think. @Summitdan @Ar4130

Only 10 months with the JT for me, but I made that same mistake once with a CJ7 leaf spring lift. Easy fix, minus the sore arm from the torque wrench.

Haha yep! I went and bought a damn $200 Milwaukee torque wrench to assist versus my Milwaukee impact driver wouldn’t loosen the bolts. It wouldn’t do it either! I was so pissed ? Oddly enough my measurements still don’t match. My level says the hood is now level but I have 47 5/16 (passenger) and 47 7/16 (driver) but it was 47 3/4 before so it did improve a good amount. I just left it loose and went to make dinner, I’ll tighten it up tomorrow. Thanks for all your help.

Is your lift the AEV dual sport? If so there’s a tiny spacer that comes with the lift that should go on the passenger side to help prevent the lean. Just a thought.

Someone else mentioned that to me but no it’s the Mojave spacer lift so there’s nothing extra for that.

You should never be pissed about buying a Milwaukee tool. I have so many. Several were purchased in one off situations like this.
let us know what the ultimate solution is. Seems like this would have done it.

Looks good to me...glad that helped out! Bounce the Jeep up and down a bit (while standing on the bumper) and try to help it settle, prior to tightening to torque spec....might help resolve the tiny bit of variance left between the two sides.Without adding any context I’m just going to post a photo post trackbar/ control arm loosening and ask what people think. @Summitdan @Ar4130

Maybe Mojave’s are like stock cars. Their suspension is tuned for high speed banked left turns. makes them look weird in suburban garages.
