Getting around to taking the rear suspension apart and these are the rear spacers the PO had installed. First of all they don't like any rear coil spacers I've ever seen. Usually the spacer is large enough for the coil to sit on (up top of course)? They look
Like they slipped into the top coil ring and then wore down. I need to replace these obviously. They are 2". Don't I need something like this? Pic of the springs in case that's relevant.

I guess I need to measure the springs in the back and figure out how big of a rear coil spacer I actually need. I know the front springs are 3 inch lift springs.

how do you know that? If they measure 15" with the weight of the jeep on them then they give 3" lift. Springs almost never give the advertised lift height because our jeeps all weigh different amounts

I read a thread on here that explained how to measure your lift height by measuring the spring and comparing it to stock. Some other way you offer that's better?

12" and 8" are stock compressed spring heights. Below or above is sag or lift. Hence my remark that 15" is a 3" spring. Manufacturers claims are not to be belived.

You didn't refer to a specific thread but if you do it any way but what i describe it will be wrong. Choose spacers based off your measurements,tjs factory rake and how much you want to keep
