Will I need spacers for these springs

[Disco2Guy]

I just got a set of front RTE 4-3 springs. They are old (probably when Steve was running the shop), but have never been installed. They are labeled RR 4-3, but there is no stamp on the coils that I can see, and I'm looking for a tape measure here at work to see if that might help. I'm not sure if these are for a D1 or D2 as well. RTE is out of rear 3" linear coils until the end of Feb. so I have time to prep the shock towers until then.

In preparation for the 3" springs I already have installed:
Extended, SS brake lines
Extended ABS lines
Tom Wood's rear drive shaft
D1 rear perches w/ EE rear retainers (upper and lower)
Bilstein 7100 12" SB w/ res (rear already installed, front will go in with 3" springs)
Stock, but re-built front drive shaft

When the springs go in I'll also add:
Front lower shock mounts
Front lower retainers
Crossmember will be removed

Eventually I'll also get the radius arms, pan hard bar, and TW front drive shaft. Maybe the Watts too.

I currently have 2" RTE springs and 1" spacers on all 4 corners. Do you think I'll need the spacers up front? What about the rear? I needed them in the rear when I initially did the 2", and added the front spacers after getting the KM2 255/85/r16 tires a couple of years ago.

RR4-3 sprngs on the front of a D2 will give you 4 inches. If you want a 5 inch lift you will need spacers.
If you wantthe same height all around you will need RR1-3 for the rear and D1 spring perches as well as about a 1/2 inch spacer or wedge.
Silly wabbit.

Ok, I just wanted to be sure I wasn't going to get 5" if it was a D1 spring. I'll leave the front spacers off, and probably keep the rear ones. I definitely don't want to hit 5". Hell, I'm 6'4" and 5" of lift is too much for me, let alone for SWMBO.

Thanks!

What the hell does Swmbo stand for?
