The rear has to have spacers or something.

Never dealt with a ZJ, but on my Wj I dont that that would work..

The front looks like its stock height, the rear looks about 3 inches over.

^^^ Looks like it to me too.

Some towing option? U-haul or somebody added it with a non-factor tow hitch?

There's no tow hitch on it or any markings from were one used to be. On the zj I know people put swap the springs to lift the rear so the don't have to buy but one set of coils for a cheap lift.

Finally got it up on the lift and took the coils off Wow ended up being worse then I thought I pull all off they were all the same length and the front ones had a piece of coil welded to them to make it seem lifted so I guess I'm going to junk yard to get a set rear coils to get it level

Now only bout a inch so it's good for me I'll eventually lift it once I fix everything I want. But I'm missing antenna how can you replace the roll down one with just a regular one
