Default 95 XJ Leveling

Hello all, just bought my first Jeep. As the title states its a 1995 XJ that I got for $400 dollars because it has some problems all of which I will be fixing as I go. I plan on running 31x10.5r15 tires on it. Is there a way to level out the front end? I found coil spacers that lift the front 1.5-2" is this what I need to make the front sit as high as the back? Sorry if this is a dumb questoin, just new and don't want to waste money on something that wont work.

Thanks, Mat

But if I put shackles in the back it still wouldn't be level because it would lift the rear. I just want it to sit level all the way across.

How much higher is the back?

If the front hasn't already been raised and you raise it 2" or less you probably only need blocks.
Stock shocks will work on the road.

I know the front shocks are dead. The rears seem fine though. Havent got to check suspension much, all i looked at underneath was how much floor pan needs repkaced. But the front sits 1-2" at leadt higher than the front.
