Stock coils from the front of a v8 equipped ZJ will net about 1-2" of lift depending on the age and condition of the springs. Thats a lot of work for little gain, but if your after a little lift then I suppose it's worth it.

Don't be so negative Frank. A little lift is what many ppl want and this is a good one but the AAL in the rear is the only way I see to get that small a lift in the rear unless the shackles are changed and the leafs left alone.

I always saw using a ZJ coil with a spacer was a good combination for lifting the front pretty cheap. But a ZJ coil on it's on is not really worth the effort. Although putting a new coil spring in and adding a spacer is about the same work in my opinion.

ya baer i would agree not the most fun job in the world but i thought it was worth it, putting spacers in and putting new coils on is the exact same about of work. To in stall spacers u need to take the coil off and put the spacer on top of it.
