I switched to a set of Old Man Emu heavy duty rear springs and love them. I was blown away with the ride quality and the increased handling, far better than the stock ride. From highways to rugged trails it rides and handles beautifully now. I too am running stock shocks but plan on upgrading to a full set of OME shocks in the future. I believe I'm going to order a set of their front coil springs as well and discard the Rusty's spacers. You won't be disappointed with the OME lift, I highly recommend it.
Totally agree with you here...mines a D/D but sees its fair share of offroad too, so not going overboard on the lift, it even see's rocky creeks, etc...the 2" rear OME springs are far better than any extened shackle or block or even a add a leaf set up... and with a rear locker on board and some rock sliders, the Xj will go most places you will most likley to point it in...
