My rear end is saggy
uhhhh...not mine, but the jeeps
I have a x-factor 3.5. It just seems lower in the back. probably an inch. i have bilstein 5100 shocks also. Any easy solutions to this to stiffen the rear or just add a spacer?

WRONG FORUM!! Oh wait only read the title first.
As stated, if all she needs is 1 inch in the rear, you can just buy the Teraflex 1 inch rear spacer. It also has a protrusion to reduce the possibility of spring dropout during full flex.

My old lift did this as well - a spacer evened it out.
You may want to look into progressive springs (AEV has them, others may as well) to handle the weight a bit better. I have them and mine no longer sags (I removed the spacers).

If one end of the Jeep sags, then the springs are not up to the task. A spacer will jack up the height, but the springs are still too soft. For the best ride, handling, and suspension travel forget the spacers and replace the springs. Springs cost a bit more, but it takes the same amount of work. You don't need "lift" springs unless you want to lift the Jeep. Springs are available from Terraflex, Old Man Emu, and others that will carry more weight but are only an inch or so taller than stock.
