Lol, they are blowin smoke.
No way the rear springs are going to "settle" and match the front.

How many other D2s here do you see with a 2" lift that look like that?
None that I've ever seen.
D2s sit level stock. The 4 springs are the same heigth.
Were the 4 Terrafirma springs the same height??
If so, how about the rubber spacers/seats?

You DON'T need to remove the spring to see the part number. The number is just painted on the OUTSIDE of the spring. Just remove a wheel and you will see the number IF it's there. For example (not your part number), the pic is how the TF number stamp looks. In your case something like REAR: TF023V /// FRONT: TF042

And for the record, there is no way in hell those are the correct springs. But will the springs "settle" with weight/time... YES.
You can also expect the paint to chip off fast, and they will also RUST like mad because they are TERRAFirma garbage. Good Luck!

>> FIRST pic is TF023V PS
No part number on the springs.

I feel your pain.
Went through the exact same thing on a 4runner a few years ago.

Measure from hub center to fender flare. Rear should be 19" +/- .5"; front should be 19.5" +/- .5"

That's factory spec, so add two inches to that for where you should be sitting.

The front and rear springs are the same height.
But, are they the same spring rate?
Even if they were, having them reversed, the difference in the pictures still seems excessive.

No, front and rears are different as far as height and how they sit in their designated perches. Now the ones I took off were the same height, so yes, I'm sure the rear was a higher spring rate.
