Rear sag, hate it...help me on ideas

So, Rough Country sent new rear springs, I think it's worse. Can I add spacers? How high without any danger to vehicle on top of 2.5's? It looks like I'm down 1.25 in rear...thanks

If you go new rear springs, you could always look for progressive coils over linear. Otherwise, some spacers will help level it off. But it's possible that with no heavy bumper or winch on the front, the front coils are not compressing much giving you reverse rake. A buddy of mine has a Rock Krawler lift and his front sits very high with his stock bumper. Front coils with RK are progressive so without heavy stuff on the front, the coils are barely moving.
My RC 2.5" lift is also like that. In the front I got about 3" lift over stock, but rears I don't think it even touched the advertised 2.5". Maybe more like 2.3". When loaded in the rear, there is very little uptravel left on the shocks. Adding spacers in the rear might help with the look, but it won't help with uptravel. I think the best thing would be to replace the rear springs with taller ones, but not sure how that would work if you keep the RC front springs. The fronts are great and I have no complaints. They don't sag even with a steel bumper + winch.
I had the 3.25 lift and it was pure junk. Rear sagged to hell at 2" with stock bumper and OEM carrier holding 35s. I called and switched out coils and had exact same issue. Now I have carrier and bumper and switched to TeraFlex rear sway links and I got half inch (the way rough country does it, it's limited) You will also see better ride quality from rear. I'm now going TeraFlex 3" lift, just need to install coils and I'm done
