My Jimny has a +2" lift with ProComp shocks (I assume they're ES1000). While the left shock looks to be ok:
... the rear right shock seems to be quite close to the Panhard rod:
I've bought a pair of rear shock brackets from Martin (great service, thank you again!) to fix this problem. Should I be worried about the extra 1" which will be added to the shock absorber in this case (like the spring falling out when flexing) ?

I havent lost a spring yet but I noticed when I jack the rear passengers side up so the wheel is off the ground, my shock seems a little loose, not enough to drop out but the springs are only a few mounths old. Im using 2" pro comp and the re locators. I was thinking of taking the re locators off, if its too close to the pan rod, surely this could be packed out with washers? im guessing the the pro comps are designed to be attached on the original bracket and thats why its giving us extra length in the shock making the spring loose!

I have used +3 springs and +3 shocks and also the B4V 1.5" spacers, so to correct castor issues i've used castor correction arms both front and rear.
I wouldn't put spring spacers on if you have +3 springs unless you have a seriously heavy jimny.
