This is exactly how my install was. The JK had about 800 miles on it when I did the install.

going out on a limb here but if the jeeps have 362323 different spring rates depending on options like they say, thats why everyone could be experiencing different things.

What do you mean by this? Every lift I have watched get put in the compressor squashed that spring like a grape. Is that bad?

How much did you off road your Jeep before installing the lift? I know WOL off roads pretty hard, even when his was stock, so it is possible his springs were a little more broken in when he installed his first lift. Of course I could be way off here, but it is what came to mind when I read this thread.
Before the install I havent been offroad very much... and someone stated about the spring rates being different... they may all be different but is the overall height any different? And like most others I have heard my rear springs just fell out and the install with the spacers was a breeze.

Mine was the same way in the front. I also installed an extra 3/4" in the front and had to fight with both sides to get them in. I used a ratchet strap from the frame for the extra little bit to get them in. Worked like a charm.
