I would figure out how much lift you want out of the front. did the PO tell how big of lift coils he installed? or you might have to do some measureing

IMHO you should take the front end down to match the rear. 9" is too much lift unless you have full size axles.
This is just an assumption, but to reach that much lift you probably have some spacers on the front springs. Take those things off. You'll notice a big difference.

his pictures above dont show any spacers the PO built a truss and put purchs higher my guess is that he also has 5" lift coils but would have compare the gap a stock front mount to what he has now. like mine with the hp44 swap I only have zj coils but the front is lifted 5"
That's f-ed up. Time for a new front axle lol.

Just a thought as well for the measurement to figure out what the lift is, Measure from the bottom of the tube to the frame rail, Subtract 2" on top of the 6 3/4" you minus from the over all length to find out your true lift height. Should be pretty close and then you can pretty much do a educated guess on the coils so you can figure out what to put the rear at.

Well I don't know about you but I trust my own judgement before others, and others are only consults :P Do your own measurement and see what you get. If you could, would you get a picture of this thing sitting on all 4's level and I'm pretty sure I can ball park it from my XJ for total Lift Height. Mine sits at 5.5" in the rear and 5" in the front and I have almost as much room in the wheel wells as you do in the pix you have up of flexing.
