Passenger lean
- Thread starter Dylpickle200
- Start date
Jeeps leaning are something I have dealt with before. When the old Willy's Jeeps were made, the drive train was offset to the drivers side and the differential to the passenger side. Those Jeeps often had the Willy's lean lower on the drivers side. I was told many times that this was due to torq pushing down the drivers side springs. The TJs have the reverse, Differential on the drivers side, drive train toward the passenger side. My TJ has stock springs and after many miles (134,000) I have a very slight lean on the passenger side like you do. It's about a quarter inch, not enough to bother me. I have heard before that this is fairly common on the TJ. Since you put in lift springs I suspect the effect is amplified. The springs you have may not be as stiff as you need to compensate for the lean. TJs are better than the old Jeeps because they have wider track and coil springs. I would measure the length of your springs with vehicle on the ground and see if the passenger side is really shorter. I
Brand new, it actually settled out a lot I’ve put probably 500 miles or so on it now and it’s hardly noticeable, I also looked into their website and they pointed out the rear right corner commonly sags on some tjs and others they don’t and quoted directly from curry: “no one knows why” so they sell adjustable coil spacers to even it out if needed
Where on Currie's website do they say they don't know why the right rear corner is usually the one that sags? It's widely known why the right rear spring is usually the first one to sag from engine torque spiraling its way there.
Are you just here to argue everything? He said "Curry's website" says that and I asked where.
my bad that's where I fucked up. when they talk about noodles they mean springs. I want the spicy springs
my apologies for answering the question without properly forming the response so that everyone can understand. I thought my answer to "are you just here to argue everything?" made sense but it's my bad! let's try again:
no jerry, I'm not here to argue everything. I'm just trying to make sure that the OP doesn't expect to find any information about springs on the currie website as you requested him to show you:
my answer to you was that there are no springs on currie's website and I called you something mean which I shouldn't have. that's my bad. I thought the inference of not having springs on the currie site would clearly translate that there wouldn't be any information about said springs to be found but I guess I was too vague.
I apologize for attacking your intelligence as it's very common to confuse currie and rockjock. it's been a struggle for the best of us, even you yourself have been struggling with this for well over 3 years:
even over a year after that statement, you were still leading new members astray:
to make sure everyone is clear, these are two separate companies. I verified on both sites and google maps as well. low and behold, they aren't even located in the same building:
I circled the buildings so you can see they are indeed different places. green is rockjock 4x4 and the John Currie Performance Group. red is currie enterprises.
to the OP, the proper website for ROCKJOCK products is https://www.rockjock4x4.com/, not https://www.currieenterprises.com/ please visit the proper site and answer jerry's earlier question since you haven't yet:
I hope this clears up everyone's confusion on the matter of sagging springs being sold ONLY by rockjock and NOT currie and where to find information on both great companies!
And again, my apologies jerry. thank you for this re-do and I'll be sure to help you out by reminding you whenever you type the wrong company name so that no other visitor or new member that isn't familiar with these great companies isn't mislead by an incorrect post from a highly regarded staff member as has been proven to happen in the past, even today again!
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a "stiffer" LJ rear spings option? This could solve it. Call RJ and see if they are willing to make a trade for the one spring. Not sure if there will be a ride difference. My LJ had the lean and I installed a small, 1/2" I think, spacer in there and swapped springs. Level as it ought to be now.

1/2" longer, not stiffer.
I had this same issue that drove me nuts. From what I gather, I think some people's eyes are more tuned to seeing it than others. It bothered the crap out of me and when I would point it out to people, they wouldn't even see it. That said, I'm the same guy that walks into a room and can't stand that a picture is slightly crooked.
Anyways, I fixed it with some spacers. Get underneath and measure between the upper and lower spring perch. Put a level on the rear bumper and jack up the right side until its level or it suits your eye. Remeasure your spring perch, subtract the difference, and get some spacers to make up the difference.
Here's my post if you want to read through it.
