So we installed my friends fabtech 4in lift today and now the passenger side front end leans about 1in closer to the tire. Cant figure out whats wrong maybe the shocks bad? what you guys think.

make sure the springs are in the retainers correct if they are not lift the jeep off the ground and rotate the springs until they seat in the retainers

try re installing the springs. take them out and look at them, maybe one is defective. try switching them, maybe something is wrong on the P side that doesn't have to do with the lift. just a thought.

when you pull the springs make sure they are the same height when you put them side by side not likely but it could be off a little. and make sure you put the coil pads back on both and did not forget one.

if everything looks good under the front, take a close look at the rear leafs as mentioned. get under the back end and compare both sides.
my brand new rubicon express leafs did the same thing, took em out and one was sagging lower than the other side.
i also thought it was the front coils. almost bought new ones, till i found out the rear leafs were facked.

it wont "lean" but the axle will shift one way or the other. thats you get a new tracbar when you lift it, it recenters the axle under the jeep.

Do you hear banjos?
You may not have gotten the DS spring down in the craddle like you should. If the tip of the spring is not down in the recess that is in the spring bucket, it will be about an inch higher on the DS. I'd get an adj TB, or at least a relocation bracket for temporary use until you can get an adj one. HTH!!
