ZJ's do not have leaf springs. They are coil sprung all the way around.

I believe the ZJ had coils front and back.

Zone has some pretty cheap ones I've bought Iron Rock ones too, a little bit better design and more money. If I ever need some more I'll just make them. If you have a welder and some time is suggest that route.

I'm a noob to lift kits. I am gonna be lifting my 94 XJ with a 3" RC kit and I wanna know what peoples opinions are for the SYE. I have the NP231. Should I get it? Do I even need it? I know they're needed for large lifts but for a 3" will I need it? I'd rather not spent the extra money on it but will if I really have to lol

You will prolly be fine at 3". Some guys do get vibrations but most of the time your ok. You can certainly install the lift and then do the SYE or a Trans case drop after.

IMO bar pin eliminators and expensive shocks that might require them are highly over rated.

I'm not sure what if any adverse affects it has but the rear sway bar bracket BPEs turn the mounting point the wrong way.

Shouldn't cause any issues.

You don't need it. You'll get slightly more understeer but given that the upgraded rear leafs are stiffer than stock, it won't really be noticeable.

I took mine out. I think a lot of people do.

Good to hear. I got a seat on the rear of my 91 lol. I never really tested out put to see if it made it bind at all.
