Stock springs???
When I put any weight inside the jeep lowers and rocks back and forth as anyone gets in and out. Am wondering if replacing the stock springs would cure this. I do have a spacer lift and new shocks. Also at slow speeds it bottoms out over speed bumps. Any thoughts?
Springs have never been replaced 250,000 miles.

I have a 95 zj and the same thing happens to mine. Although I don't have spacers, my jeep has 250,000+ with stock struts and springs.
Iv reaplace struts in other cars iv had with the same problem and with new struts it was like new.
If your jeep is swaying back in forth while driving try replacing your front sway bar links.
I dint know if that helps but good luck!!
Ps
I am replacing my springs and struts this fall and ordering them 3inchs bigger,
That way i don't need to use a the spacers and have better ride..
It's cheap and easy to do your self.

You don't have struts on a ZJ, you have shocks. Struts are a unit comprised of both spring and shock together. You see them on smaller passenger cars such as Hondas.

Yes they are different lengths but you won't have to worry about finding the proper length, just order 3" lift springs and they will be the correct length for your application.
