Default Question about front end lift on 2WD XJ

I installed new Leaf Springs on my 2001 Jeep Cherokee 2WD. This jacked the rear end up about 3 1/4" higher than the front end. Measured from the floor to the fender well. I checked with the supplier and was told that I did get the proper springs and they are stock replacements but are heavy duty and the lighter springs fail to quick in their experience. It will settle some but I will need 3" lift in front to make it level. My question is what is the best system to lift the front for a 2wd mall crawler (NO OFFROAD). Any suggestions and vendor suggestions is greatly appreciated. Thank You Sandyman

BTW I installed new shocks and coil springs on the front when I did the leafs if that matters and still have this problem.

Yes go to Rustys Off Road his springs are very reasonable and all made in NA not China like the others.
