It wasn't really my picking and choosing. This was part of a kit where I selected 2WD so I do expect the kit to be somewhat normal. They should of given me 2" or 2.5" spacers if they know my springs are a little lower. Speaking of, here is the tag on the spring. I believe it says 68004453AA

Yeah I gotta fig out what size to get. I can get the rubicon springs for about $40 shipped and then still use the pucks I have now, or find some 4" rear springs somewhere. The biggest factor is where do I want my Jeep to sit? Completely flat or slightly raised in the back?
BTW the Carolinas rock, I love Asheville, Charleston and OBX. Where are you located?

I went from this...
To this...
I pulled the stock rear spring and the puck and put 2.5" Rubicon Express springs in the rear. It worked out very nice. Ride is pretty good too.

Perhaps using springs with higher rate with an existing 1" spacer can work too.

53s rate springs on a 4dr is a bit weak to say the least. I had 55s on a 2dr. Right now, with 33 tires and 2" lift I am measuring 6" front and 6 1/4" rear tire to fendet. That's 6 1/2" and 6 3/4" if I had stock 32" tires.
Looks like SwiftKnowledge has netted 3" lift in the front since he is measuring 7.5. Therefore, 2" springs + existing 1" spacer should do.
I would try 59 rate springs at this point.

You know, I think you are right. I should had said compensate 4", not 4" springs.
