Did a 2 inch rockliz inspired lift 4 months ago. In front I replaced my stock coils with new Crown Automotive ZJ coils purchased from 4wd.com. They were more tightly coiled than the stock XJ coils but did not result in any lift so I used isolator stacks to get up to 2 inches. My front has sagged since then to where I now have only about 1.25 inches of lift. So I assume that if I had not added the coils I would actually be below stock height. I could just leave it as it is but as long as I've gone to all the trouble of adding new leaf packs in back (qtec HD) and installing OME shocks N35 and N36 all around, I'd really like to rectify this situation to max out capability. So I have some questions:
1. Would just adding spacers on both sides to get back up to 2 inches be as totally retarded as I assume it would be?
2. I could put my stock springs back on leaving the spacers on. They had me at stock height pre-lift. Any chance I would end up with the same result as happened with the ZJ springs?
3. This is really my main question and I am asking since I am considering biting the bullet and just getting OME coils to go with my OME shocks. How much offroad performance difference is there between a lift acheived solely with coil spacers and a lift achieved with 2 inch coils?
