Goin to wait to see where it settles so I can do something for the front. Thanks guys for the help and guidance.
If you haul stuff in the back, you might want to leave the front alone. The front isn't sagging if it measured 17.5". XJ's look better sitting higher in the back,

I go off-road during the summer months but nothing crazy. So far I've done the back with just springs and ubolt kit, had to press in the bushings for the crown leafs. Used a 18" threaded rod, nuts, washers, and 2 plumbing black iron floor fittings from home depot. gonna do the front with moogcc782 coils when the weather is much better.

If your wanting a 2" lift up front using Moog 782's you'll need to add 3/4" spacers w/o the isolators. Other than that your good to go. I did add a track bar relocation bracket to center the front axle. I guess some here didn't need to.

From what I gathered you don’t need to do anything else for the upcountry lift that yields 1-2” of lift. Once you get to 3”+ is when you need to look into replacing control arms and track bar.
