Replace the struts?

My rear springs are sagging. Rear end hits the bump stops when hitting large bumps, and is pretty much bottomed out when fully loaded.

Im replacing the rear springs, rear shocks, and installing a front/rear 2" spacer lift kit. I'm into it about $280 so far.

Any thoughts on replacing the struts and springs? They seem to work properly the way they are. Not sure if they are sagging or not, but no indicators so far.

What are your thought?

If they have more than 75000 miles on them, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to install new front struts, at least. If the ride height is okay, you can re-use the front coils, or, go with a quick-strut which comes as a complete strut assembly. If you load it heavy or tow heavy, look into a set of Air Lift 1000 air bags; they work great!

2" lift pucks all around. New rear springs, new rear shocks. Did not replace anything in the front. It was a lot of labor installing the front lift, and in retrospect I would have replaced everything on the front just to be sure I would never have to take it apart again. Too much labor involved.
