Default Small lift

More of an update than new thread. Several months ago I replaced my rear leaf springs (2001 Cherokee sport) as the originals were sagging. I used the heavy duty set from General Springs. The back went from 16 inches measured from center of hub to
fender bottom to 19 1/2 inches so about a 2 inch lift from factory and about what I wanted. Of course then the front was low so I replaced the front coils with a set from OME and went from 17 1/2 to 20 inches.
All in all this was what I had wanted but looking at all the posts of folks getting a wide variety of results I drug my feet - wish I had done this sooner.

That is exactly what I’m wanting to do.

I'm sitting at 17 and 17.5, right on stock height but I’m wantIng a clone Upcountry Look and that is perfect.

Not sure of the part numbers, the rear leafs are the heavy duty 755 pound rating. The front coils are the OME that state you will get 1 - 2 inches of lift.
