Default Zj Vs. Wj Coils?
I am interested in lisfting my cherokee like 2" and have access to the front coils out of a V8 Wj limited Grand Cherokee. I always see that Zj springs work but what about Wj springs? And do you thing $50 is a reasonable price to pay for them? I have an S-10 leaf pack to use in the rear just need front now. Any opinions are welcome!

You can buy brand new ZJ Upcountry coils from rockauto.com for $75 so $50 for used springs is a little high

WJ coils won't work on an XJ or ZJ.

The diameter of the coil prevents it from fitting properly.
