I decided it was time to soften the ride a little.
As I mentioned before its days of hard work are over and I wouldn't mind it sitting a little lower. It has a lotta rake and it is still pretty firm with too much rebound.

I already removed the quarter eliiptic helpers which has no effect on ride height but did effect ride.

Next to go are these coil over/helper spring/shock absorbers...

I have a pair of stock Jeep(TJ) rear springs but I already know they are too soft.
I also have a pair of newer Jeep(JK) springs for a 4door Rubicon. They are longer and a thicker coil. Neither of them look like much compared to the stock spring.

I had a couple sets of shocks with potential but the KYB gas adjusts are pretty close to the right length.

So I slapped it all together... The 50 year old bolts didn't give too big of a fight and I'm not bleeding
