OK.. I just did some eyeballing as I washed my XJ (yeah... it does get a bath once every 2 to 3 months) and I realized that my front is sitting lower on one side.... so out comes the measuring tape and as I'm rolling underneath it does come out to be 1/2" ~ 3/4" lower on the driver side. I know coil springs tend to sag sometimes (or loose spring rate) but then again I'm not that heavy and primarily it's only me driving in it (I'm about 150lbs with everything I got on and my pockets full of change LOL). In any case I got the UpCOuntry springs (they came with the XJ) and spacers (the biiig thick spacers) and now I'm sagged. The XJ is 98 and I had it since day one...
I did wonder about one thing though: can the sway bar screw things up a bit? When I disconnected I seemed to be able to bounce it back to abotu 1/2" while when connected beforehand, no matter how much bounce I do I was at 3/4" lower.... Btw, it's the RE PITA disco for 3" lift, and I got the 1.5" spacer up front (and I kept the factory piece as well)
Now as I'm thinking about getting new coils (I'll put in probably new coils and remove the spacer and when I'm ready I'll put the spacer in to go higher ) I wanna make sure that I don't mess anything up in the long run again!
