replacements for front coils???
 
I am looking at doing a 2" lift for my xj and I'm wondering what would be the best spring to replace the stock ones with. I want quality ride. Also, whats the best way to get the same quality ride and lift in the back. Shackles? Thank you!

I'm installing a 2" lift on my XJ this week, I considered a Rubicon Express BB but it didn't come with springs. I ended up buying a BDS 2" lift kit from Off Road Warehouse and I picked up the extended brakes lines, coil isolators, U-bolt plates and shims from Rusty's.

Replacing the coil springs was a must for me as was add-a-leafs instead of blocks, I will eventually replace the rear leafs but will wait until I install a taller lift.

For 2" lift you will get the best flex and ride with stock springs and a spacer up front OR 2" lifted springs. In the rear go with a long shackle, or a GM shackle mounted upside down. for the rear you could also slip the main leaf from a S-10 pack under the XJ main and get 1-2" with the stock shackle

I think I am going to go with the 2" rubicon express lift.
