    that price looks like it's for fronts only...says "set" and product # has an "F" at the end (front?)

    may want to call them and check, seems too low for all 4.

        If you rear skyjacker springs sagged, won't new rear skyjacker springs sag as well?

          another option is ACOS in the rear. My fronts were bad new. So I managed to get a used ACOS off the forum.

            yes x2 on that. get a better spring. I have OME and they're probably about the same price. love them, and they don't sag.

              I have a front and rear set of Full Traction 4" springs,( $200.00) they were on my LJ for about 1 Yr. Yes they settled,but with no major issues, but I was carring alot of weight so I went to a RE Spring set. Let me know if interested. Will be back from wheelin on Sunday.

                according to the previous owner they'll be 9 years old this year, so if i get another 9 years out of a new set ill be happy, but then i saw that rustys has 5inch springs, what will happen if i swap those in?

                  If you only replace the rears, you may look like a stink bug! Go all 4 if you go with a different brand. Rustys makes a great product. Super flexy and soft, but they have a tendency to sag if overloaded too. Do you carry a lot of weight around? Maybe the previous owner? I'm wondering what caused your rears to sag and not the fronts.

                    you should get a winch, bumper and a bunch of other stuff to weigh down the front to match up with the back.............

                      the back has a bumper/tirecarrier with a 33inch spare on it, a hardtop, theres also two 10inch subs in the back with the seat, but all of that was on there when i bought it and from the pictures i have of it last winter the back sat higher then the front, last summer it had just the softtop and no rear bumper/ tire carrier because i pulled it off and sandblasted and paint it, took me forever to get around to painting it so the bumper/ tire carrier was off most of the summer, then when i put that back on and the hardtop back on it sits lower in the back then the front, the only new thing on the back is the CB antenna and i dont think it wieghts it down that much
