Default Cheep ZJ Suspension

I am starting my first LWB jeep build. I have a 98 ZJ that will be my family's dedicated offroader. I have only built wranglers before so I am new to grocery getter builds.

Anyway, i am looking for a very cheep suspension option. Im hoping for 3-4" of lift. Ive heard i can swap in coils from an f150 and get about 3in of lift, but they will ride fairly stiff. Im not concerned about the ride quality but the ammount of flex i will get offroad.

Any input on the f150 coils, or any other cheep options would be very helpful.

ironrockoffroad.com's got a f2r kit for $329, thats what i put on my 94 limited and it is a great kit for the money. with a little trimming was able to clear 32's on 15x8's

i just bought the f2r swap lift kit from iron rock offroad, i got it in like 3 days and i came to figure out they sent me 4 rear shocks, so i had have to wait another 5 days, to get the shocks i need.
