Default ZJ front suspension question?

I am looking to pick up a zj for my next build after retiring my tired old Xj. I have quite a bit into the suspension on the XJ and was wondering if the entire front suspension would be a direct swap onto the ZJ? That is arms, coils, etc. Obviously the rear is different because its leafs vs a 4 link.

I'd go the websites and check part numbers for the ZJ and XJ. I would ASSUME they'd be the same.

Guys, correct me if I'm wrong.

As far as I know everything is the same, but XJ coils with give about an inch less lift on a zj

They're close enough to being the same so that everything will swap over.

ZJ and XJ front suspension is essentially identical, except the spring rates are different because the ZJ is heavier.
