i welded the bottom coil retainers straight out the back and laid them flat but up tight to the nub all i did is spun the spring till it centered if you look close in the picture you can see the left one, as far as the tj springs they were off a hard top and i only measured 2 inches of vertical lift after i installed them i don't know what i got out of the front because i thought about measuring it after i had the jack stands underneath and tires off. But the rear ones could be wore out i do have accsess to another set so i will try those next

In your pics you rear springs look like they are compressed more than mine and mine is a 4 door. Try the other set and if they are the same I have a set of 1 1/2" or 2" spacers if you want a little more lift.
