Default JK RTR articulation problem? Help!!

So I have change my shocks to 110mm King Shocks from rc4wd because stock shocks where leaking and no Im not going back to them. Then I have the level-3 racing droop kit on this because the shocks are so large, my driveshaft angle is okay know with the droop kit. I four-linked the front and I put the axial aluminum links on. What is the cause for the left Front side to articulate around 2 inches but the right Front side articulates around 4-5? (Yes I know the articulation isn't the best but the ride height is the same as stock). Now I can adjust my suspension with the droop kit and the pre-load in the shocks. What would you guys suggest? I have my honcho that has 103mm shocks with the same set-up and it doesn't do this, and my jeep has soft suspension (which I like it that way because my gopro sits on a custom mount up on the roll cage). NOTE: I have a set of 1.9 RC4wd super-swampers on rc4wd rims (used from the honcho). Is the body sitting too low? (Keep in mind that the front body post are at the max) I appreciate the help and support, - axial 4x4 crawler

P.S.: If you guys want pictures of what Im talking about then just reply saying "pictures could be useful" or something like that.lol.

Pictures always help. Is your servo mounted on the axle or is it CMS?

You might double check all your link lengths . Ive mistakenly left out a 2mm spacer on mine before and it caused problems with articulation as well as threw my axle out of alignment. A tiny bit of difference in length can be a big deal.

It is axle mounted, and yes I'll upload pictures tomorrow.
Note that the servo wire is not to short and my steering link is aligned very well.

Yes it can, that's a good suggestion. Honestly I never ran into a weird problem like this but I'll double check my links tonight. I know for a fact that I haven't put any spacers on the links but it may be a rod end screw or something like that.lol. I appreciate the help, -axial 4x4 crawler
