Suspension Questions
So I'm planning to do a 2" Budget Boost with 32" tires underneath
My question is, is there a good place to pick up coil springs for semi cheap? I can pick up Moog Brand coil springs for a little under $200 front and back but I don't know much about the quality of that brand.
My coil springs look like they're about to implode but I don't want to go higher than 2 or 3 inches. Trying to maintain the lcog look.

Not many 2 inch coil springs out there. If you want better ride quality, Old Man Emu (ARB) makes 1.5" springs. Rocky Road Outfitters is a distributor, their ZJ page is found here. They offer a full kit; 1.5" OME springs, 1" spacer, OME shocks and steering dampener for $740. Putting together your own setup is an option.

XJ and ZJ front springs are identical. as is most of the front suspension with the exception of the steering linkages being beefier on the V8 ZJs.
Moog is a good brand

I've been told the Upland suspension is a 2" lift over standard. You should look at buying the Upland springs.
I think you'll need more than 2" for 32's.

yeah you would be looking at probably at least 4.5 inches of lift to fit 32s without trimming. the Upcountry suspension gave a 1 inch lift over stock and different shocks as well

even with trimming, it wont be very functional. id stick some 30s on it and call it good. that way you could drive it over more than a speed bump
