..........I am looking to give my 99 Cherokee XJ a 2" Budget lift (up front, I have the back covered??), someone on here suggested I get the front springs from a Gran Cherokee to give my xj a 2" lift, what year(s) Grand Cherokee front springs would do that?? 94 thru 98??

From what I understand it's the 94-98 Grand Cherokee with the V8. The 4.0 models won't give as much lift.

Yep 94-98 GC

I used the OME (I believe #934) from a V-8 ZJ and still had to add 2" spacers on top of them to level things out with new stock springs and 2" blocks in the rear.

Check www.dpgoff-road.com if you can't find a used set of ZJ coils.

I only got about an inch out of the V8 springs. I have a 2in spacer on them for 3in in the front. So unless you find a pair for free or REALLY cheap, I wouldn't even worry with it.

If you use the front springs from an Up-Country V8 ZJ you should get about 2 inches of lift. The Up-Country package had stiffer springs, as well as spring spacers, special shocks, tow hooks and skid plates.

See here for "You won't believe how cheap" dealer prices on the springs etc. $64 a pair NEW! http://www.geocities.com/frankieroti/UpCountinstall.htm

go buy the front coil springs for a 86 F150 and it will give you 3 inches you just have to cut the end tab off. And it gives a great ride did it on my 94 and loved the way it handled. Use the leaf springs from a S10 to give same lift in rear.
