we used a sawzall (some recommend a cutting wheel instead) and cut it half-way to the first bend, but it depends on how much clearance you need. Just remember you can always take more off, but you can't put it back on very easily.

No, quite the opposite. I guess I wasn't too clear on this. It's the other way around, ZJ coils would give XJ's a slight lift. I used the XJ 4.5" coils, and gained presumably ~3.5", and added my 2" BB on top of them.
