I just did a full suspension replacement on my 2000, front and rear. I bought all my parts from Kolak, and went with the Upcountry setup which, as Downs mentioned, gives a nice 1" lift over stock. Crown leaf springs and bushings, new coils for the front. Ball joints, control arms, shackles, sway bar end links, u-bolts, the works. I went with Bilstein 5100 shocks on all four corners, but since I daily drive mine, I probably would have been just as happy with Monroe sensatracs, which I have used with good results on another daily driven '95 XJ. Kolak had prices good enough where I just went with the Bilsteins this time.
Over all very happy with my new setup. I'll try to post a pic below, nice ride height without being overly lifted.
You should email or call Nick at Kolak - he is in your back yard in Phoenix (no affiliation). I have bought a couple suspension set-ups over the years. Hard to beat the prices in my opinion.

Any info would be helpful. Thanks!
