Default locker and lift blocks

I have been going to salvage yards lately to get parts for my 98 xj while there i found a xj with about 2in rubber spacers above the front springs but i couldnt tell if any thing was changed on the rear. Did this jeep have aftermarket springs on the rear or could this have been a leveling kit? What else should I have taken from that jeep if it where a kit (the front shocks where skyjacker) Also i should have a 8.25 rear diff is there any vehicle that comes with a factory limmited slip that i could be looking for?
Is there anything that would have a limmited slip that i could drop in the front? And lastly I found a set of 31x10.5 allterrians in a yard will they rub on a stock suspension?
Thanks
Later

If you use stock wheels, they will only rub slightly in the rear when stuffed. The spacers are a budget boost. Look for a longer shackle or add a leaf in the rear springs to complete the kit.
