Well, after installing Eibachs, I'm still curious to see if the rear would look better slightly lifted.
Probably a 1/2" more to see.
Does anyone know of a slip in insert that can be installed between coils?
I know 1/2" is harder to come by than a higher lift.

Just say no to that type of height adjustment. All that does, in essence, is eliminate the functionality of that coil. It joins two to become one and you will have wasted the money on your expensive springs.

This! Cheap and easy but does change the spring properties.

Coil inserts are GARBAGE and should never be used. They help nothing and screw up the ride by limiting spring travel. If you truly want to lift the rear, you need proper spacers. I have a Traxda 1 1/2" lift on my Explorer. If you truly want to be a little higher, you need to add correct spacers above the spring. You could even put your own pieces of 1/2" steel or aluminum plate with center holes in them to accomplish what you want.
