We do use a higher spring rate than most other manufacturers, which is why our springs and lifts are very popular when it comes to heavy/overland builds. The JL springs can handle about 400sh lbs of additional weight before sitting below level, using the 3.5" springs in the rear with the 2.5" up front can increase this up to about 600 lbs.Interesting. I didn't have this option when I discussed my build with the sales department. I was told how heavy the springs were and that it shouldn't be a problem. I've considered a spacer lift in the rear to straighten out my rake a bit since the rear springs dont seem quite heavy enough.
However, going by your picture it really doesn't look like you are having an issue with sag, your Jeep is sitting really nicely and it looks like the springs are handling the load just fine. If it's just the tire rubbing on the factory plastic liner, it's possible you need a little more backspacing, or, you can even remove portions of the liner, which is what we do here on our trucks. I'll attach a photo below of our JL with the rear portion of the rear liner removed so you can see what I'm referring to.
Hopefully this helps, feel free to give us a call if you continue to have issues or want to look into the taller rear springs!
