It is very normal! All of the weight from the FJ is on the driver side so everything kind of leans that way. An adjustable coilover lift will help it out

Great question!  I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.  Happy to hear others have this and it is normal!

Glad you found us Tom. I told you it was normal!

Your FJ used to look like this.

Take a look at some of my other photos to see where your FJ has been!

Thank you for buying it from me. You are still welcome to call with questions.

I measured my FJ from several points on a level concrete pad and discovered the same results both before and after adding an ARB front bumper and winch and after a leveling kit was installed. My front is now level but the rear is low left. I asked a few mechanics about this and it is not uncommon across the manufacturers. Toyota and Dodge seem to have the highest number of non-level vehicles from the factory, followed by Nissan, Ford then  GMC/Chevy. Interesting since I have  owned many 4x4 Chevy's with no level issues, even an older  Dodge Ramcharger  from the early 80's was level! Still, none of those previous vehicles can hold a candle to the FJ's off-road prowess.

Adding a second battery seemed to help out a bit for me, but I also have a 75 lbs. duffle bag in my passenger's side cargo area to help out with the lean (mostly emergency supplies).  But I like RJ's idea about throwing a heifer in the passenger seat.
