Front : Grand cherokee v8 coils give you 2" and F-150 coils give you 4-4.5"

Rear : use S10 rear leafs added to your stock leafs for desired lift amount.

any style leaf springs (as long as they're out of a vehicle designed for heavier loads or similar load capacity) and then just use the leafs from the donor packs and make an add-a-leaf setup
(S-10 leafs, Dakota, Durango, explorer etc)

keep in mind though with using f-150 or bronco coils, suspension is going to be stiffer, and also the coils may be little bigger than your stock coil buckets on your front axle...... some some beefing up may need to be done

I used V8 ZJ coils and got 1.5"+2" spacers for 3.5" and it was a great ride. I hear the F150 coils do ride like a rock on our light weight XJs.

if you have or plan on putting a full size front bumper (steel brush gaurd) and a winch on the front... it will help compensate for the lack of weight but will still be a little stiff (F-150 coils)

(2" spacers) Most off road shops carry spacers.
But if you get spacers don't go to a little auto store to get them just because they are cheaper they will work themselves down the spring.
A spacer feeds inside of your coild to space it out and effectively lengthening them. But if you are looking at doing any serious off road i would consider just springs no spacers.
Just my opinion though.

I've seen these, they look like certain death. Just get on Google or Ebay and search for Jeep Cherokee coil spring spacers.

I used something like this, worked just fine.
