Best and cheep way to go is...
Go to the jy and grab a set of stock xj springs, take the pack apart, take the main leaf, cut the ends off of it and add it to yours and if you want more add the second leaf as well

I have a rc 3" lift currently, I've aquired some re 3.5 springs. Should I get .50" coil spacers or .75" spacers to level it out? I plan to put the jcr basic bumper on the front at some point.

For 33's its only 12-5 but you get 31's if you need the thinner tire for any reason..

I see, I run Mt baja atz's with side biters, great off road, and on highway, and they look great, but I've lost the rear end in the rain before

Also wheel spacers + offroading = problems...

I can.............I recently had mine in mud and they have excellent grip. They are a tad louder than I like on-road but, well worth it.
