Are my front springs worn out?

My new-to-me '98 supposedly has a 2" puck lift. The front looks quite a bit lower than the rear to me. The tires are stock 32" JK tires and rims with spacers/converters. Motor is the 2.5L. Could I put 4.0l springs in to level it or maybe new 2.5L springs? Or maybe remove the rear pucks?

TJs actually come from the factory with a forward 'rake' toward the front. You can level it out by adding about a 3/4" spacer to the front, or in your case decreasing the amount of spacer in rear. But, simply removing a 2" spacer would likely overcompensate.

I replaced the sagging springs on my 97 2.5L. I went with Moog. I chose the Rubicon springs for the front and gained about a half-inch, helping to level out the rake. My notes are here.

$61.66 from Amazon = no brainer. Thanks!
