Default 2-3 inch junkyard lift kit

Ok I got cut fenders. And I already run 31 inch tires. But heres the thing. Its just not right. It rubs some times... and my front coils and shocks are kinda... not great. So I need front coils. And I kinda want 3 inch for the 07-10 JK wrangler shocks. coz I really need some nicer ones.

so heres my dumb question. 2.5 inch lift? would the JK wrangler shocks work? I have the cut fenders as I said so I dont want something big. And all the brake and tcase things are unwanted.

So I what kind of coils can i use to still have a nice ride. Coz i live on a extremely bumpy road. I mean theres a pot hole every 5 to 10 feet. and its like that for the whole ride. Which is 20 mins.

I mud. I dont trail/rock climb. I also live on a road that hardly ever gets plowed when we get snow. And seeing I live 23 miles from school... and we get more snow where I live then where my school is. The lift would help there.

I want a junkyard lift coz I dont really have the money to spend on buying a legit lift kit. So... whats a good 2, 2.5, or 3 inch junkyard lift kit set up? Oh I have a parts XJ so I have access to leaf springs. The shocks arent great and the coils are ok. So cheap set up and shock ideas and what not?

Thanks in advance.

There is a sticky in oem Cherokee tech with a bunch of great junk yard lift info. I'm using the iPhone app or I'd post a link. There are many cheap ways to gain a few inches. Good luck to ya man, start a build thread if you want.
