Sagging back after lift?

Hey everyone-

Recently installed a Supreme Suspensions 3/2" suspension lift and new shocks/struts. I retained the factory rear springs but changed out the fronts with quick struts. After getting her all aligned I noticed the back sits slightly lower than the front. Being a former AZ resident, I know the "baja" look is cool and all but I would love a level runner... Do you think that the factory rear springs are just worn out and sagging after almost 207,000 miles? Would swapping those for new stockers fix my problem? Thanks for any helpful input!

I did a 2/1 spacer lift with my 4R, and thought I had a slight bit of saggy butt, so I flagged down a guy in my neighborhood who has a lifted FJ, and asked him if he still had the stock rear springs. He did, and I bought those babies. It added about a .5 inch of lift in the rear, and I'm happy with the looks now. For now, I should say. I look at this website everyday thinking about what "real suspension lift" I'm going to do in the future. :rockon:
 
If the front went up 2.5" to 3" you probably need 1.5" rear spacer at least cost.

something like that.

Or longer coils.
The kit I bought has spacers that are supposed to provide 2" of total lift...just like the ones you linked.

Just realized it's a spacer lift. It might be a bad quality polyurethane spacer.

The kit I bought has plenty of positive reviews and no negative feedback related to what I've seen.

i would order a set of fj cruiser rear springs from rock auto and call it good.
Will look into this-thanks!
