I did a bastard lift on my 98' XJ. I am currently running a S10 bastard pack on the rear with RC 1.5" lift shackles and a 2" spacer with v8 grand cherokee coils in the front. The rear end im estimating is sitting about ~4" over stock. the front end is sitting ~1.5-2" lower than the rear. I thinking about going with some 2" lift coils in the front to even it out, but im not sure. I know rusty's has them, any other vendors carry a 2" option? Ive also considered the moog cc782 coils that advance carrys, but im not quite sure if they would lift it much more than what i currently have. any and all suggestions welcome

Thanks

or you can sell me the coil spacers, and buy 3.5 RE coils.

Honestly it'd cost about the same for 3.5" coils as 2"...but to answer your question check out Old Man Emu. They got 2" coils as well.

Huh, I never thought about 3.5in coils. Good call. Aren't RE products known for giving to much lift? So it would probably be close to 4in in the front I'm assuming. Thanks for the ideas.

The RE leaf springs provide more lift than advertised, yes, but the coils should be pretty close to advertised height. The RE coils are going to be a bit stiffer than what you're used to, they're meant for rigs with heavy bumpers and winches.

RE coils are pretty spot on, maybe tall by about .25-.5 of an inch.
Leafs are a different story.

I run 4.5" RE coils, and 3.5" re leafs.. I am level.
