Hello, I just got the new '08 JK last week... a big difference from the '99 TJ I just sold.

I have two questions about the JK:

- I just noticed the new JK sits about an inch lower on the passender's side (yes, I measured it). The suspention is still stock. Has anyone experienced this?

- After just 150 miles the wheels are filthy. Are there any low dust brake pads avalible for the JK?

Thanks for any comments.

My leans big time since the lift..

Could be because of the fuel tank and the fact that the right side is the torque down side of the motor.

Alot of Jeeps have this.. they call it the "Jeep Lean".

I suspect it is more to do with the rear track bar pulling down the passenger side as it holds the axle centered, but I may be wrong.

We thought that too, and to a certain extent you are correct.. but mine still leans with the both track bars disco'ed.

Maybe Jeep did it like a racecar. When you add body weight to the driver side, does it even out.

So I need a fat girlfriend... dunno about that mod. :thefinger:
