Default Rear end sagging
I have a 2.5" suspension lift + a 1" body lift on my 09 Sahara and the rear end is sagging to the point that my rear view mirror is nearly unusable. I don't carry any unusual weight (I even took the spare off). So my question is...would it be smarter to install a new suspension kit (currently have rough country) or get spacers to put on the rear end? Whatever the case, I don't want a temporary fix...just want it to sit right. Help?

I has the same issue. I ended up with spacers -leveled it out and seems to be working OK.

You shouldn't need spacers in the rear. I would go with a better lift

If money is no issue, I would spend the cash for a better lift and call it a day.

I would replace the springs, because if you put spacers, you're not gaining the lost spring travel.
