With the lift shackles are you over extending your shocks when flexing? They look extended in the picture after the shackle boxes
Those springs aren't lift springs Chuck, they are stock replacements.
You aren't adding lift. You are at most bringing it back to where it was new.
I'm running those springs in this photo:
I've never run a factory spring that's been new. They maybe be ok for the setup you are wanting but will add a bit of lift I would guess. You could always add another isolator up front to level it.
Shocks, I like my bilstien 5100s. Bought the set of 4 on sale
That is exactly the stance(rake?) I am looking for. My question is will these new stock springs invert (sag) just like my stock ones in a month or two with my setup? If so I could add my mains or a helper to avoid it. I should be able to add either one and then drop a hole in shackle to bring it back to where I want it.

I have a set of zj v8 springs I can add to front if I need to, but again really don't want any more lift. Those 5100s are for how much of a lift? Thanks guys for your input.
Mine are for 3-4 inches of lift. I think you can get them for less. maybe 2-3"?
a stock spring is just not that strong. It will last, probably long enough for you to go bigger and change your setup again.
(yes it will happen so just plan on it)
That being said, most of the factory spring packs ive seen dead are from being inverted. get them twisted up a few good times with incorrect or non existent bumpstop setup and youll kill them real fast even being new. My 99 looked the same way frowning at 190k. But my 92 springs still had arch with 230k miles on them. before i swapped them
