Where can I get springs (3") or spacers the cheapest? Dont need anything special. Just cheap and something to net me some lift.

Cheap isn't always best with springs. You may find yourself sagging after a short time. Here's a link to homemade style. Seen them done using the white plastic cutting boards and they seem to hold up well.

do a search to see what coils give you how much lift
but i knew a dude that used some f150 coils from a junk yard on a 2wd xj that netted him bout 2.5" of lift
i know at the Pull-a-Part here you can get coil springs for $10 pair, w/ your wrenches

Dirk at DPG Off-Road used to have the best price on coil spacers. But spacers are available in 1-3/4" and 3/4" heights. To get 3" you would have to stack spacers, and I don't like that. You should be looking for coils.

the best way to do it cheap is to get used springs, keep an eye on the for sale section here.
