Car first came into Middle English as carre, from French and earlier from Latin carrus 'wheeled vehicle', and it first meant a carriage, chariot, cart, wagon, truck, or other conveyance. From the 16th to 19th centuries, the word was mainly used in poetry to describe any vehicle used in a solemn or dignified procession, as those concerned with pageantry, in times of triumph, or in war. The word was mainly used in relation to vehicles traveling on railways until it was transferred to automobiles around 1896. Other words related to car include career, cargo, caricature, carry, charge, and chariot.

Well, if his profile is correct he is from a country that doesn't speak english. So, I think we can cut him some slack with the terminology he used.

As for your situation, you would probably be fine adding some spacers. If you have the cash, a 4 inch spring in the back would probably solve the problem too.

ok the problem is you keep calling your JEEP a car, Jeeps are NOT cars that why the jokes and also it is difficult to understand you sometimes, there is also a saying that Everytime someone calls their JEEP a car God kills a kitten, so show that love you have of your JEEP and call it a JEEP not a car.

I would just add a spacer for the amount of lift you need to get back, the problem with going with a spring is some lift springs say they are 3 or 4 inch but you wind up getting more out of them, the spacer will give you exactly the amount it is

well here's my opinion. Putting longer springs or spacers in would solve the immediate problem but, what if the weight wws removed? The poor guy would have that annoying factory rake we all got rid of asap. I think the solution is an air shock in the rear. That should keep the springs from sagging and maintain the ride height without load.

20 thousand and have 30k to put into my Jeep, I think you have us confused with some other country. How about 40-50k if you bought it brand new loaded, and 15-20k on add on parts. Love your JK? Call it a Jeep. Jast add spacers, that will fix your problem.
