ive heard zj front coils add about 1-1.5" lift while stiffening a bit and compensating for things like steel bumpers.. all that sounds good but what rear packs would you use to match the level? i'm assuming zj packs dont fit, do factory xj packs match? anyone done this before? blocks and shackles are out of the question b/c i need new packs back there anyway... how much lift would this give if any?

No Leafs
ZJs are Coil front and rear so no they wouldn't fit. You could go with shackles or blocks or the best way would be add a long add a leaf. That leaves your pinion angle the same and then you don't have to worry about wrapping your axles with the blocks. JMO

Take the main leaf from a scrap/donor XJ rear leaf springs, and cut the eyes off each end. You'll wind up with an add-a-leaf that matches your spring rate perfectly, rides surprisingly well, and adds 1.5"-2" of lift. (Higher if you start/use 'up-country' package springs.)
Cheap, works well, and keeps the ride quality.
