Dont run f150 coils unless you want your jeep to feel like a tank. Buy a set of cheap xj lift coils and you will be much happier.

True, especially for you
!Oh, Oh! What ya gonna waste....errr...I mean use that 2000th post "helping" someone on?... time to wait and see!
I think I'm going to go with the S10 leaf pack and I can get some Ford F150 2" lift coils so this setup should give me about 4" of lift all arround, right? For 4" everything else I'm going to need will be a set of control arms, brake lines and a t-case drop or SYE, right?

there is a guy who has a write up with f-150 coils+ 2" spacers and rear dakota leaf packs and he nets 4" of lift. i forgot what his web site is but there is a bunch of cool cheap stuff you can do if you have the tools and time.
go with a SYE. in my own opion that is the way to go.

I took my F-150's out after a drive around the block and went to Ford T-Bird springs (V-6) with an adapter plate I had made. The Ford springs were way to stiff for me and they dont compress much under the paltry weight of the XJ so you get LESS FLEX than stock (unless you let them fall out of the pocket in which case you have no weight and no traction on the unladen wheel). You also need to run spacers to get the lift advertised. Look up my TBird spring thread to see a photo of the XJ, F-150 and several T-Bird springs side by side.
Go with cheap ZJ or XJ coils or V-6 T Birds (cheaper yet) to get 4-5 inches of lift. Your spine and chassis will thank you (it will wheel better too).
