Default couldn't find this with the search tool, v8 zj coils in the front of i6 zj?

I just picked up a 1994 zj for $500 and looking for a small lift. I am new to the zj scene(former xj guy) and I am thinking about 3.5-4.5" lift. I read about the front to rear swap but I was wondering how much lift I could get in the front of my i6 zj if I used v8 coils. I already have control arms, track bars, swaybar links, shocks, etc figured out and I am just looking to spend the least amount on springs as possible. Thanks in advance!

Probably not much since the I-6 weighs 515 lbs ,which is only a few lbs behind a 5.2 .

or you could go v-coils all the way around, and use spacers in the front, that could get you 3.5"
