I don't know anything about ZJ's, but those rear spacers look like they would just fall out.

the spring would have to fall out first....and the shocks wont allow enough droop for that to happen. and besides that, it would take some force to squeeze the spacer over the bumpstop cup.


btw, to the OP. nice ZJ

no problems with the spacers they arent goin anywhere. the only thing i would recommend which i will do at some point. the heavy duty shocks are simply stronger than he spring so i havent decided yet im either gonna add in heavy duty springs or lift springs to eliminate the spacers
