I'm sure you are talking about the 3.5" lift where you get new front springs and use old front in rear. I just done this on my 98 ZJ got kit from Rough Country for like $400 Im very happy with mine

I have been doing some research on this swap as well... from what i understand the geometry works pretty good, but you will be giving up some on-road comfort because the front springs are very stiff to handle engine weight. You may experience some bouncing on the highway?
Let us know how it works out! I may do this to mine so my girlfriend will quit bugging me for a bigger lift!!! haha

Front to rear "kit"? Why would you buy a kit? All you need is two coils.. Unless that kid included some cheap shocks.... I like a nice ride though.
