Default BB vs Coils

So my xj has a 2" lift with rancho shocks in the rear, but is factory up front. (No idea why, thats how I bought it) My question is am I better off getting the bb 2" spacer, or finding cougar/thunderbird front coils and cap to lift the front. The 2" spacer I have heard can vary anywhere from 1.5-2.25" and the coils usually give 2-3" of lift depending on model they are for. Whats everyones opinion on spacer vs coil?

TIA,
Mat

Go with a spacer over some BS junkyard coils swap.

Even better, get some OME 2" coils

If your current spring are good spacers are low cost and work perfectly fine.

New springs are fine too. However both my new springs broke in less than a year. Never had a problem when I ran stock springs and spacers. Aftermarket a lot of times are junk.
