    My Jeep has had a "port-side list" since I got it but if I park right it's not so noticeable. Last night it sat on the level floor while I worked on the building and it was really noticeable. A 4' level accross the tailgate told me the driver's side is 1.5" lower, did the same at the windshield and found almost a 2" difference. The winch is in the way so I couldn't do the same accross the front bumper, so I measured up from the floor and again found almost a 2" difference. I thought it was the body sagging arround the frame but the bumper difference is telling me I also have some tired springs.

    Anyway, does anyone know what the original ride height is supposed to be?

    Then I got thirsty. :stout:

    Sorry don't have that info but I have the same sag side to side and the only thing holding the back level is the extra bottomed out air shocks that PO installed..... rear springs are actually a reverse arch they're that shot.... I'm gonna use Rancho's 1" lift springs that 4WD.com sells... I plan to run 31x9.5 TSL Super Swampers

    Mine is the same but lower on the pass side. Found it to be rusted floor and bent mount under battery. (My next project)
