My rear springs on the 2002 kj keep popping off when I'm fully flexed out. I'll post pics below. What can I do to fix this issue . Thanks everyone.

Looking at the RC site you appear to have the wrong shocks.
You need the 2in lift ones.
The ones you have are over extending.
The brake hose looks pretty taught also.

Ok so get the ones that have a travel of 0'- 2' that's what I thought just wanted a second opinion.

You could look into limiting straps at this point, but the proper shock would probably be best. Your current shock may be limiting suspension travel in the other direction which is not good either.

Question: is your rear stabilizer bar (sway bar) uninstalled? It will function to limit downtravel. You can get extended links if you want more droop than stock.

Stock shocks would limit travel. Extended shocks may do what OP is experiencing.

I'm running 4runner coils... they are longer, but not stiffer.
