Default ZJ 5.2 Spring Rate ?

Hello.

A friend is searching for some cheap lift springs for His ZJ.
Do you know which spring rate he needs for the front and the rear?
He wants a good flex and uses the ZJ offroad only.
Do the front ZJ springs work in the rear?

Thanks!

It takes more than just spring rate. Spring length is also important to mix in there. You will get 1.5 - 1.75 inches from those coils
