Sagging in rear, spring replacement

[daverockville]

Any updates on this?

Looking to get an inch or 2 in height back on a 24 X.

Yeah, here are my measurements (see attached image) showing before and after adding the coil springs and a 3/4 inch daystar spacer, it gave me about 2 inches. Now I have a fridge and some other stuff on the back that makes mine heavier than normal. Take a look at the short YouTube clip that will show you what I have (just subtract the plastic bin and 5 gallon Water canister in the basket.)that gave me 2 inches. With the additional stuff in basket it sags a bit more, not much but I never measured it. Also, just got a trailer and that also works well with this setup when I tow.

I would prefer to go all spring, no spacer.

How is the ride with the OMEs?

Looks like if I went with just the springs I would gain some height back by just taking .75 off your measurements?

Thinking I should just go OME front and rear.

I always have extra weight in the back, so I haven’t noticed much of a difference. For me, it feels like the ride has improved—maybe a bit stiffer overall. Heavier-duty springs are designed to handle more weight, which often leads to a firmer ride, especially if the Jeep isn’t fully loaded. However, this stiffness can actually be beneficial if you regularly carry heavy cargo or have additional accessories mounted on your Jeep. Its not perfect but seems like a good compromise for what I use it for.

The outcome really depends on your setup. If you don’t usually carry much weight in the back, you might see more of an increase in ride height due to the springs not being compressed as much.

I could never find the spring rate for the factory springs, but since spring rate is the amount of force required to compress a spring by one inch. If you had both the spring rate and the weights ...., you could maybe calculate the outcome more accurately.
