Anyones rig seem to flex better to one side better than the other? Reason being had mine driver side frt flexed up on 3ft block, with driver size rear staying firm on ground, but when I do the same on passenger side the rear lifts up like 6". We measured and looked for something wrong or a different measurement comparing sides and every thing is the same?
 
Mine does the same thing because my drag link on the passenger side hits the frame and limits my uptravel on that side.
 
If it has a trackbar/panhard bar, the suspension will react a little differently from one side to the other.
 
Are the shocks in the stock location? One leaning foward and one leaning to the rear? I think that is the setup so that may be the issue.
 
buddys xj did same thing when he linked rear. track bar was problem. hope this helps any
 
^^^^^ This is most likely your issue. I worked on a trooper once that the slip in the driveshaft was so locked up that it actually caused the center pin on the passenger side to shear and the axle was sliding fore & aft on the spring perch as it flexed. It did exactly what you're describing.
 
I don't know the answer. Maybe remove all shocks and flex. Then as mentioned and if possible flex without drive shafts.

In my thought process this might narrow down the possibilities.
