Am I sagging too much?

Ah, and the Body lift comment does make sense.. yet you just mentioned it.. Thought we were focusing on just the coil area.. and true crap coils (not saying zone coils are) but would make sense..
So here is what I'm wondering.. if these are the zone 4'' lift kit.. has Vladimer checked the products on the page to verify that everything within that check list was installed..
Suspension Lift Kits-2008-Jeep-Wrangler JK | Zone Offroad Products
and seeing how this was installed by someone else.. how can one be sure it is the 4'' and not the 3'' instead..

Thanks! I'll check it out, so far my Synergy stuff has been top notch.

My fully loaded JKU sits at 38.5" front and 39" rear with an AEV 2.5" and true 33's (measured from the same point as your pictures). Depending on the height of your Duratrac's I'd defiantly say you've got some sag going on. TeraFlex 1" spacers would be a much cheaper route than the JKS system.
Are your measurements taken with the hard or soft top ???

Good pics none the less.. and the only reason I suggested the sway drops.. was that if one added the spacers.. the sway may be off slightly.. the blocks would bring the sway back to a more relative location.. But adding the spacers on these coils.. may just make them bow more.. Yet I see others say sag.. I'f it was sagging.. The coils would sag or droop.. in his image the coils are being forced to bow.. which could indicate weight or otherwise.. which is what we are attempting to determine.. would adding new coils correct this?.. maybe.. But what about adding coil overs.. the shocks within the coils.. that for sure would limit the bowing effect.. But I'm under the assumption that it's just the front that's bowing and not the back.. is this true?

forum
/ˈfɔːrəm/
noun (pl) -rums, -ra (-rə)
1.a meeting or assembly for the open discussion of subjects of public interest
2.a medium for open discussion, such as a magazine
3.a public meeting place for open discussion
So in essence.. my points are valid.. because they are open to discussion.. or is this forum lopsided or one sided..

Actually, this is up to Vladimer to decide if any of my comments are valid.. and if he suggests that this may not work for his application, then I'll discontinue posting within his thread.. but really you missed my point.. added the sway drops & added spacers will throw the geometry off.. unless you prefer to have the sway bar point down towards the ground at about 10° or so..
Oh and.. if this isn't an issue.. then maybe one needs to search the net, key words: "Sway Bar Drop/Relocation Brackets" plenty of results.. but most are rather flimsy looking..
So I guess I'll take your advice.. and discontinue my sway drop support.. can't wait to use these on the jeep.. Seems it's peaked more than a few interested persons, so much so several have asked for a set.. we'll just have to wait and see.

Synergy makes great stuff. Didn't read the whole post but if it's a 2 door you will want the 3" springs. They are 4" for the 2 doors.
