I just installed this 2" lift kit from Extreme Terrain. https://www.extremeterrain.com/mamm...-suspension-lift-kit-with-shocks-j143271.html.
I also installed these jounce bump stops. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000CGWLFE?tag=wranglerorg-20.
Now, when I hit a big dip in the road or travel bumpy gravel roads the rear bump stops bottom out. I can even jump on my rear bumper and get them to bottom out. I replaced the original dry rotted jounce stops with the red ones shown. The kit came with shocks for a 2" suspension lift and 2" coil spacers. I added longer sway bar links. I added an adjustable track bar BUT did not install a relocation bracket cuz it seemed to work ok in the original location. Here are some pics to show that I only have about 1.5" of space before they bottom out. Could my 20 year old coils be worn out? What do y'all recommend?

The shocks should reach full compression at or just before the moment the steel cup touches the steel axle pad. Close enough is good enough.
