Whats up guys right now I have a 3" bb on my 94 zj with new shocks sitting on 31x10.50x15's... I have the 4.0 s6 motor... I am looking to get another 1-2" on top of my 3" bb now. I was going to do the front to rear coil spring swap.. What coils could I find at a junk yard to get the 1-2" i am looking for. Would zj v8 springs work?

A front to rear swap without blocks will give you 3.5 inches. V8 springs might give you 1/2 to 3/4 inch. If you are going to 5 inches you will need a lot more than a couple of springs and shocks. At that height you will need to go long arms. At 4 inches you will need short arms and I would suggest adjustable short arms. If you want to go higher I would suggest a complete lift kit.

Well I was thinking of taking out my rear BB when I did the spring swap so I would like to be four in the front and three in the back

If you don't already have them a set of Up Country Springs will net you an additioinal 1" of lift. I went with those plus a 2.5" BB and am sitting right around 4" of lift total.

With everyone asking about lifts all of the sudden got me thinking, if i bought a 4" RC lift, can i still put in a 2" bb lift?

At 6 inches you will need long arms.

That is not true. You don't NEED long arms but it is highly reccomended that you get them. The ride quality is just so much better. If you can swing the money for them get them the first time and be done with it otherwise get really good adjustable control arms.

Yes you can add a 2" bb to just about any lift. I wouldn't try stacking BB lifts though. If you can even do it.

I've seen what happens at 5 inches on short arms. The mounts tend to tear off the uni-body. But yes you are right YOU don't need them but you had better be handy with a welder to put it back together again.

i wouldnt be stacking bb on top of another bb. it would be a regular 4" RC lift with a 2"bb lift
