Default Budget Coil question (pic request)

So I've searched for budget coil info and the one set up I haven't been able to find much on is the one I think I'm most interested with, which is, using 80's Tbird coils for a few inches of lift.

I want to know what people have seen for lift (how many inches(that's what she said)) and if I can see some pics of XJs using this set up and preferably with 31x10.5x15's

Thanks in advance

I know that is an option but I've heard guys that do ZJ coils and a 2" spacer and only getting 2" of lift so it wont get as much lift as I'd like to, anyone else?

i know with the t-bird coils you also need to use the t-bird upper strut plate. should give a couple inches

but, 3-4" lift coils are pretty cheap.

I hear ya but they're not as cheap as $20, I'm still on the fence that's why I'm asking for more input on the subject.

I'm also looking for shocks, what r options for a 3-5" lift shock?

Doesn't answer your question, but used 3" coils are a dime a dozen here. Its pretty typical for those that start small and then go higher to sell them. Maybe not $20 but not much more then that.
