V8 ZJ Coils on Front of XJ
I've looked through the forums to see how much lift they give, and found several different numbers. I realize it will vary, but I want the most definitive answer possible. So how much lift do they give?

i put a set out of a V8 grand cherokee coils (not the Up Country package) on my XJ along with a 2" spacer and it netted me 2" of lift...... lol it provides a better than stock ride, the coils i guess don't sag after they settle like original XJ coils do....
BUT if you find some out a V8 grand cherokee that has the Up-Country package you should get 2"

either or.... an XJ front Coil spring has the same "bump stop tube" diameter as a ZJ front coil does..... the rears off a ZJ however i'm not sure about.... you could also "for the cheap upgrade" just go to a salvage yard and snag a few factory coil spring isolators of some XJ/ZJ fronts... if you take about 3-4 pairs and put them on the front (assuming they are in good condition and not all cracked out and blown) that should be roughly about the same as a 2" coil spacer..... lol it doesn't look the best but it will serve as a coil spacer lift until you can buy some coils or some actual legit coil spacers
