There are different sizes?

I have a set of Laser Tools compressors that I have used to change the springs on my Jimjam. Getting them on opposing sides of the rear springs is tricky due to space.

I get away without using my spring compressors, Just unbolt the shocks and jack it up high.
Just be careful not to strain the brake lines.

It is odd that on the standard jimny the rear drivers spring is the longer. The front ones are the same length. Yet most people compensating for the lean adjust the front. Not saying this is wrong just point it out. Has anyone tried correcting with a spring spacer on the rear?
