Easily found if you search....there is even a sticky at the top of this forum about junkyard parts that will tell you straight off - F150 coils (stiff ride, about 4.5" of lift).

get you some grand cherokee v8 upcountry coils they will bolt in and add some spacers your at almost 5 inches but just the springs will get you 2-3 inches
or you can just get 2 inch spacers to get up that high

True, if you manage to find a V8 ZJ UPCOUNTRY, then you can get 2-2.5" out of the coils over stock XJ.
