If I got ZJ front springs and 1.75" coil spring spacers how much lift would that give me on my XJ. And would it be better to do a procomp 2.5" rear leaf pack or a 3" RC leaf pack. What would be level?
Thanks

WRONG..
TJ coils in a ZJ lower you 3"
XJ coils in a ZJ lower you 1.5"
And those are not numbers off the net those are numbers from trying them out, in my and friends rigs.. You can interchange them but they all have different spring rates so the height verys. The only one that is truly longer is the ZJ coil and thats cause from the factory is has 3"s more wheel travel..

Yeah, what Mykal said. The spring rate differs, obviously, but the diameter is the same, so the spacers will work for all of them. If I were you, I would do the ZJ spring and spacer swap up front, and the 2.5" PC pack in the rear. You'd rather fall short in the rear than be too high, and you can add a shackle to compensate. It's easier to add a little lift than it is ti take it away. JMO.
