Will these coils fit?
 
http://www.4wheelparts.com/Lift-Kits...&t_pn=EXP55592 I am wondering If I can put these on the front of my 98 cherokee without it jacking the front end up to high. I have crown heavy duty rear leaf packs that added at least an inch to the rear so the front sits lower. Ontop of that, Im getting ready to put a heavier front bumper on http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=251148455073 Dont know the exact weight but its 3/16in steel with 1in thick d-ring mounts. Some sites say the coils are lift 1-6in, but other say its a solid 3in. With my rear end up 1in, plus the weight of the new bumper, could I run these coils without a problem?

how high is too high to you? Cause those coils say 3 inches...

It really doesnt matter to me, as long as the ride height is even.

Thank you for the link. The reason Im asking is because I can get a new pair of these for $80. Normally id get replacement coils however I didnt consider the extra weight from the new bumper being applied to the front end. Say the rear end is 1in higher over stock, and then having the weight of the offroad bumper on the front, would the ride height be even with these 3in coils?
edit: Just thought that it might interfere with the stock sway bar links up front. I dont have a rear sway bar... Im not sure, all I know if that I need new coils.

you may just even want to think about just getting coil spacers to make it even. the 3in coils will probably give you 3.5-4in for awhile and bumpers arent really heavy enough to weigh the front end down enough to make it even unless you just want to do a 3in lift kit

That is a very good idea thank you.

Just buy like a 2 inch lift shackle, and 3 inch coils, youll be in business.

I know advance auto parts sells heavy duty xj front coils. they give about an inch of lift. Other parts stores may be able to get them too.
