ZJ and XJ front coils interchange
Thank you for the advice.
It appears I understood him wrong!
Do you know what the standard unloaded lengths for the front coils on a XJ should be?
I am thinking of putting some spacers on the front coils of my XJ, but I think mine has sagged - so would like to get that sorted first?

rear coils from a ZJ or TJ will not fit the front of an XJ.
ZJ and XJ front coils interchange, by ZJ front coils will lift a XJ more than a ZJ (ZJ is heavier)
And there is no way your friend put his ZJ rear coils on the front and got lift - 1: they wouldn't fit, and 2: they would DROP the front, not lift it. If he swapped the front to the back it would work as described though...

So I infact did use the search tool and i didn't see what i was looking for. For the dakota bastard pack. Can i get the full suspension. rear leaves front coils and shocks off it? sorry im a newbie...

No, I don't lick fish.
I'm not positive, but I believe the front coils on the dakota are a wider diameter... even if they are, I'm not sure they'd really give you any lift. The main reason they give lift in the back of our jeeps is because a.) you are combining them with your main leaf and b.) pickup trucks have heavier duty springs because they are designed to haul payload and tow.
