I have a 3 in lift kit on my 05 Liberty which uses the stock springs in the rear with a spacer. The springs are shot and the back end sags down a bit (even more when it's loaded up with camping gear). I've been wanting to replace the original springs and spacer for a full length spring with no spacer but I'm not sure which springs are best. I appreciate the help in advance.

OME 2948 if I remember correctly, whatever is their highest rate, I think they call it medium. Then add 2 extra spring isolators on top of each side for a total of 3. Spring should get 2.5 inches and each extra isolator is .5 inches.

Thanks for the info. What spring isolators did you use? I'm looking at crown automotive but I'm not sure if they'll stack ok and I don't want to spend $100 just on isolators from Mopar. Not sure if it matters but just wanted to be sure. I've made too many mistakes with this Jeep already and I'm just extra cautious now

Ironman 4x4 has rear coils that will net you 2.25 inches of lift for less money. Then add a few isolators same as what duderz7 had mentioned.

I don't remember for sure, but I likely used crown as it's my usual go to when oem is silly expensive.

I'm interested to know more about this setup. Do they fit right in? Stock 4runner springs? Ride height?

Yes, stock new ones. Cut the top bit of pigtail off to fit. Gave about 3" initially and sagged to 2", then i added the durango load assist shocks.
