Default ZJ springs or 2" spacers? w/ bastard pack rear

hey all, just gauging opinions on what would make for a better DD ride, ZJ front springs or 2" coil spacer?

i already did a bastard pack on the rear which gave ~2 lift (actually three from where is was, but it was sagging really bad)

just need to level up the front a tad, and i'm leaning ZJ springs, in my mind they would provide a more balanced ride to the already firmed up rear, but i would have to drive across town to get them, and i have the coil spacers already sitting here.

thoughts?

Default ZJ springs

I picked up ZJ springs at Napa for a 95 V8 ZJ, part # 277-5360 made in USA these were over 2 inch pick up over the stock XJ spring, ride is ok overall, harsh on sharp bumps like potholes, great front lift if combined with 2" urethane spring spacers (going to 4+inches) U will need spring compressors and modified control arm lengths when going over 3. Watch to see if your front lower control arms are they contacting the top lip of the axle housing at full flex. Good luck
