    Hey Folks
    My 55 CJ 5 has a little lean to the drivers side.
    Any thought what I could do to get her to stand straight?
    All new springs ,body mounts, pretty much all new.
    Thanks for the advice
    Jason

    This question comes up a lot.

    Even brand new Jeeps would lean. If it's less than an inch or two, I'd try to ignore it.

    Folks have tried things like swapping the springs left to right, with varying success. I recall someone writing that he swapped the springs left to right, and afterwards his Jeep leaned the same direction.

    Jeep had a leveling kit in the 70s. It was simply a block of steel with a locating pin that you put between the spring and the axle on the high side. This would lower the high side a little bit. Also reduces your suspension travel by the thickness of the block.
