i did a 4" superlift sua. i have noticed my front seems to lean to the drvr side bout an inch. could this be a shackle prob(stock) or a dead spring? seems front only. no track or sways are in my yj.

First make sure the shackle and spring eyes can move easily.  Jack up that corner from the bumper and see if it droops ok.  Most likely it is the spring or something too tight to move properly.

X3; in my case, I use greasable shakles, and still I tighten my shackle bolts less than speced in the FSM (I do use lock-nuts, though) to kee them moving freely.

thanks for replies. i checked and didnt change anything. they were a bit tight. one more thing to add to the yj list. shackles and a new spring. might upgrade and get a match for the front
