Hi Guys,
I have a 2 1/2" Skyjacker lift on my 01 TJ which has been on for around a year or so.
I'm generally happy with the lift but have noticed that the jeep doesn't quite sit level. It's around 3/4" lower on one side when viewing from the front. Also I think it's sitting a little low at the back but I only notice when driving and looking out of the passenger side window. The bottom of the window appears out of level.
Could this be a sign thet the springs are a little tired Roll Eyes

Cheers
dave

it's pretty common for TJs to sit unlevel. Nose down is most likely to even happen with a new lift (bet DC wanted a little aero dynamics to the brick Wink). In the rear -> the passenger side spring has a tendency to sag (faster) due to torque.
So swap the rear ones and if necessary correct the front end with some 3/4-1" spacers (or however much it needs).

I've changed mine out in the back when doing some axle work once, but don't bother anymore -> the fenders and flares are dinged up so nobody notices anyways Big Grin

I had a similar problem with a Procomp 2" lift, it looked as if it was unlevel, a 3/4 Spacer did the trick.

Thanks guys,

A bit of peace of mind at least. I'll look out for some spacers. I bet it ends up being one of those 'I'll sort it out later' Jobs Roll Eyes

Thanks again
Dave.
