The RC 3.5" kit comes with front springs and instructs to use the old fronts on the rear.

My son has a similar set up on his ZJ and it has been trouble free.

Not sure how much lift the V8 springs will get you? Let us know how it goes (or went, as it were) and post pics.

Front/rear swap is very common. I also don't know what the v8 spring will do for ya. Also your going to have to check your track bars, most kits come with a rear track bar relocation mount. And check your brake lines. After you swap the springs try to get your axles to droop and see if your brake lines are long enough. Don't want your travel limited by short brake lines.
