To lower or not to lower??
So I just picked up a 93 2dr with a long arm kit and 8 inch coils up front with some kind of spring out back with 3inch block and a big shackle. Rear sits a lil higher than front. It's got 35s clearing no problem it's just a rig so the fenders are cut a LOT. I am debating to lower it or keep how it is. If I lower it I was going to cut 3inchs out of front springs and either take out rear block or shackle. Trying to get some ideas and different input. I'll post some pics of it up tomaro.

I would say please don't try to cut your springs. Just sell them and get a new lower set.
Cutting springs never works out how you initially plan it too.

I'm thinking about selling and getting new or trading for a set of 6.5 springs if I can find a set of 6.5 I'd sell these for 120

lower it! your steering angles are kinda scetchy IMO.
i would also ditch those huge shackles along with the blocks and get some 2 inch shackles with shackle relocation boxes

I agree on that. Scrap the blocks and sell the coils.
Nothing good ever happens with blocks and that is one tall freaking XJ.
Holy Cow!! I thought mine was a pain in the ars to get in and out of lol

i have a extreme drop pitman arm just waiting to put it on to fix those steering angles. thinking taking out the block for now and getting 6.5 springs. just waitin to get springs if anyone wants to trade for a set of 8s or sell these and buy new. i was also looking into the relocation brakets for the shakle. ive seen they give you more drop out and def better flex so thats a plus.
