2" suspension

Opinions?
I'm looking to put a 31x10.5 or even 32x9.5 on a 97 with around 2"s of lift, I know I'll need to trim but do you think it would be better to run a ZJ coil and a 1" spacer than just a 2" spacer being that the ZJ coil will be stiffer and harder to stuff in the wells, but still provide the same droop. along with this set-up the rear will have an MJ shackle and MJ main leaf cut for a full length add-a-leaf.

6 of one, half a dozen of the other. I'd run the new spring because I like it a little stiffer for cornering stability and I consider it the "right" way to lift. It's up to you. They're going to stuff the same but might not stuff as much around town when you hit a speed bump fast with the stiffer coils.

think $50 is good price for some used ZJ springs?

You might be able to find them a little cheaper.

Just search www.pirate4x4.com, www.jeepsunlimited.com, and here for used ones.

Or even better, go to www.nagca.com and search there. They just deal with Grands so there are probably a lot of people with stock springs just sitting in their sheds.
