suspension?
 
would it b better if i replaced the rear leaf with springs or should i leaf it? ;p

Probably replace if you can afford it, assuming the springs are shot. I hear that adding leaves negatively affects ride quality. If your leaf springs are original, they may need replacing...I know the ones on my 2000 xj do...I actually have one leaf that snapped...

i wanted to put in a rear spring is there a kit for that and i just got a front coil spacer but dont know how to put it on how do i do it, also its all it came with...nothing for the rear should i put it on or no?

You can order leafs with different amounts of lift, or do lift shackles. Putting a lift on is really simple, the hard parts is dealing with a 18 yo jeep with 18yo hardware. plenty of videos on youtube that will explain everthing

i looked up a bunch of videos but none were very spacific and i don't want it to look weird would a 2 inch in front and stock in back look weird?

Leafs are the easiest things, its self explanatory once you get the wheel off and look at it, 2 bolts hols them to the body 2 u bolts hold them to the axle, undo them all, remove leaf, put in new leaf, bolt back up with new hardware.

I did the front with a spring compressor so I just unbolted my sway bar, pulled the old springs out, put my new ones in.

and shocks are beyond self explanatory
