Done a load of googling re the front to rear coil swop but could do with some local lads opinion
When I fitted 31's to the ZJ, I already had some +2 front coils from the XJ to fit. Now I need to get some lift on the rear especially now that the truck has been fitted with a 80l lpg tank. Searching the 'ol net says the swop should get me a 3" lift but Im hoping for no more than that as I dont want to be having to mod the rear trackbar If I can help it! Maybe with the lpg tank, it wont be anymore than +3". I would rather have a single coil than a spacer if it can be helped!
Here's a photo (not great) before the lpg tank was fitted.

I've just sold some front XJ springs from a 2.5 petrol to someone for the same use on a ZJ  -2" lift I think because they are a bit softer

Xj fronts on the rear lift about 3"  but don't forget the panard rod as my springs rattle on the body when she has no weight in!

I have fitted 2.5 petrol xj springs on the rear of a zj and 2" spacers on the front and its nice and level plus didn't need the panhard bar adjusting .
I can see 4.0l front spring giving a 3" lift as they are rated different.

Cheers for the thoughts lads, a few options it would seem! After all that I think Im going to try the front to rear mod as I have nowt to lose except the hours Then I will fill the tank & load my normal tools to see how it sits. Other than this, a pair of zj coil spacers will be on the cards but Llama wont have any for about a fortnight.
Unless someone else has a pair to sell or needs front spacers and wants to swop

I may have a set of alloy coil spacers somewhere

Don't know if they'll be any use to anyone, I'll have a pair of front xj coils spare in around a months time. They're +3", but on the tired side, with the weight of the bumper and winch they're sittin quite low now. Free, just need to pick up or arrange courier.

Sounds interesting! For the zj rear?
