Shocks were “lightly used” but my testing before mounting showed the damping in compression and rebound is good. Springs rarely go off, despite the Internet lore suggesting so. I do think spring replacement is the only fix since adjustment isn’t getting the job done. If there is no prior knowledge on this i’ll have to contact H&R - I was hoping someone else had done a spring swap.

Depends on the springs. Springs will sag over time, probably not as much of an issue for the reletively light front end of the Box, but the stock springs on my Jeep had sagged almost 2” from stock. So it can happen... or, whomever had them just wanted their car dumped and the springs are unusually short?

I bought a set of Yellow speed racing coil overs .When I went to install them thought I had the same problem .So I made a drawing of the lower bracket that has 1.0 inch of additional thread they agreed to make them for 50 bucks a piece . They were for 52 mm shock body with a 1.5mm pitch what are yours?
