What JY parts for 3" of lift?
Got a small JY and am looking to build a cheap, but effective lift. What parts do I need or can I use? I need many options here as my JY is small and I won't have much available to me.
Rear leafs off of a dakota or S-10, rear leafs from an F-150 (will be firm)?
Front springs off of a Grand Cherokee, overland edition?
What else will work?

grand cherokee coils with 2" spacers
any 2.5" wide leaf spring off a light truck (light as in 1/4 ton) i wouldn't run f-150 or larger springs in an xj, they are thicker to carry more of a load.
some f-150 rear shocks are good for 3-4" lift
i would stray away from f-150 coils, their spring rate is over twice that of a stock xj.
yj brake hoses are good for a 3" lift on an xj, but have fun finding a yj in a yard
