Front to Rear Swap

I heard something about a front to rear swap with the grand cherokee suspension that gives a small amount of lift. Just looking for more information on it; like how much lift is acquired from the swap, what is needed, and do the tracbars needs to be relocated? Any input will be much appreciated thanks!

You take the front coils and put them in the rear and it lifts it 3in.Then get some 3in coils for the front or put spacers in the front.Trac bars will be fine.

i did my buddies 95, but hooked him up with some front v8 coils for the rear and a set of 4.5 inch RE xj coils for the front and went with some 3-4 inch cheap skyjacker shocks. no track bar relocation, but later swapped in some RE adjustable lower control arms.
trimmed the fenders and now has room to run 33's connected, or 31's with room to flex.
