redoing the rear? Jump up and down on the rear bumper, load the cargo area up with a bunch of weight and hop a few curbs. Give it a chance to settle first. If you have an aftermarket bumper and winch spacers will likely be the only way to go, otherwise go bash on it.
I agree. It took my full leaf packs awhile to settle down a bit. I just put some sand bags in the back hatch and wheeled her good a few times and the leafs started to settle down.

put some sand in the back been driven around, and called rustys they said it will settle in about 5 to 6 hundred miles the extra weight will help its looking good

My Rusty's leaf packs were pretty high as well. They have settled a little, but I only drive my XJ once a week at most. I am adding a .75" spacer since I added the winch, but I expect the back to settle a little more with this wheeling trip next month.

rustys tells me the springs are a soft rate so they come with a high curve in the spring thats why at first they stand so tall, thinking the extra sand bags in the rear will speed things up
