Ok, 98' grand 5.2 4wd with spring/shock problems. The front shocks need to be replaced, but the rear needs the most attention. My jeep hunches over on the pass rear side, and I'm thinking that its the springs fault, its just old and needs replacing. What suggestions would work for stock height springs to replace them with. I looked on rock auto, and they have pairs for 35 or so for the rear, and then individual ones for the rear around 75 a piece. I just want to get the jeep back up to stock ride height/quality. Will add pictures in a bit. Not sure how to on mobile.

My advise? as long as you're replacing the springs and shocks anyway, why not go for a 2" BB? It will allow you to run bigger tires at a later date and not look lifted to most people now. I'd use stock coils and shocks with 2" blocks. Not much else is needed.

My 00 WJ NEEDS a 2" lift because of snow pack in the wheelwells. I'm running 245/70R16s that just about fill the wheel openings.
