Is this normal
I have a 95 ZJ. it has been lifted 3 inches (so I am told.) It has spacers in the front but i have no idea how the back was lifted. It all looks stock to me. SO i guess that my 1st question. 2nd. Even with the lift the front still sits lower than the back. I was told that i can put v8 springs on the front and it will fix the problem. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

They probably installed some front springs on the rear to lift it, then added spacers to the front trying to level it. JMO
Yes you can substitute V8 front springs to get an extra 1/12"-2" of lift depending on condition/age. Also, the Up-Country springs raise the ZJ 1&1/2" higher than a regular ZJ if you can find one so equipped. Look for the sticker in the left rear quarter window when scrounging at the JY.

Thanks for the info. I was pretty sure that you could. I still have some other stuff that I need to do before I think about going taller. Power steering pump and cv axles. The guy that had this before me trashed it offroad and never properly cleaned it. Its sad cause its a pretty straight jeep for having 318k on the body.
