Has anyone seen this before? 2023 Rubicon JT on a 2 inch Mopar lift with bilstein shocks and adjustable track bar so my axle is centered, yet the passenger side is noticeably lower than the driver side. I measured tire to fender gap and it’s a 1/2 inch difference. When you look at the Jeep you can see the lean/roll to the passenger side (made sure I was parked on a flat surface). Dealership installed another front passenger coil spring but no improvement. Jeep drives and tracks straight. Any thoughts? Apologies if someone has already discussed this.

Yep, seems to be a rather common problem. Mine did it too. Installed lift myself and double checked that all springs were in correct position. Some days it looks better than other days. Seems to have improved over the past couple years. Not sure the cause.

So I see you posted in the thread above, dropping a question here:

So I have a gas JTR with the Mopar lift with Bilstein shocks part # 77072468AF and I have odd numbers ending in 07aa, 09aa (orange labels) installed on the driver (left) side. Does this mean the dealership flip flopped which side they go on, or did Mopar change the numbers/labels with the new kit? The passenger (right) side of my Jeep sits 1/2" lower than the driver side.

It levels out when you sit in the driver's seat. The weight in the fuel tank is on the passenger side, so that's what really does it. I've learned to just not think about it. I tell myself that it levels out when my ass gets in the driver's seat. LOL. My JL does it with the Mopar lift and my JT does the same with the AEV lift.

Haha it's a good way to look at it.

As far as original springs go - the higher (mathematically speaking) part number goes on the right for gas Gladiators.
The higher numbered springs go on the left for the diesel.

Just for simplicity's sake, here's the springs that my 2022 Overland came with from the factory. Note the higher number is on the right - it's a gasser -
JT 2022 Springs-
Left front - 6342AA
Right front - 7796AA
Left rear - 6118AA
Right rear - 6119AA

Does that apply to lift kits? Never paid attention because I haven't installed MOPAR lift kit springs, I went after-market on my front springs.

I have the Bilstein Mopar lift, and on 35s they are both at 42" at the bottom of my JTR fender. According to some here there must be something wrong with mine!
