Raising the rear end

As many people know, 2002's can and will start to sag after years of use. I accepted this when I bought the car, but after all this work, it was still sagging even after redoing the suspension. I will be investigating further. After asking around on the forums it was suggested that I replace my differential bushings. Some people have noticed the rear end lifting after changing out the 30 year old bushings.

Anyway, as a short term fix I decided to put the metal spacers in the rear that I had removed from the struts when I had my motor rebuilt. Long story short, drop the rear end shocks and pull out the springs, insert the spacer and a new 3 dot rubber spacer and call it a day.
