Anything over 2-2.5 is not recommended.
Why? The bumpstop tower acts as a coil spring locator/retainer.
The higher you go using spacers the closer the upper end of the coil comes to being able to pop off.
IF you have 2" spacers and want a little more, ZJ coils (Grand Cherokee)
is said to net 1" more over the stock XJ coil.
Other than that; I recommend 3" (or higher) lifted coils.

Make sure if you go the zj coil route, you get them from the 8 cylinder. The 6 version will be abouot the same as the xj.
