Spacers? About the best you'll do is stacking isolaters out of TJ, MJ, ZJ, or XJ.. How much lift you looking to gain? You can get about 2" out of a good set of V8 ZJ coils. And that won't ride to bad either..

I want them to eventually go on top of my RC 3" coils. basicly what you did to your XJ. However there are not many lifted XJ's there but there are some lifted chevys ect. i was wondering if any coil spacers i found on them would be compatable.

I would thing yes. But not 100% sure. Seems most Chevy's use torsion bars or coil replacement. So finding spacers is rather unlikely.

Bit if it helps a stock isolator is worth 3/4" So if you only way say 1" of lift you could get 1 and have a little down rack in the front. And that's not a bad thing cause than you level out when your loaded for a trail run.

See I'm adding 1" BB in the front and 1.5" shackle lift in the rear of mine. This way when I'm loaded down with trail gear I sit level..

Yeah same basic concept I will take a look around and i guess i can always run back to an XJ and compare. Im also going to look for a ZJ tierod and some MJ shackles.

Dakota shackles are worth an inch, Ram truck shackls are about an inch and three quarters, but there a little wide.
