I know this is a bit backward, but...
Can anyone tell me what a pair of 2" OME XJ springs (930 iirc) or V8 ZJ springs would net on a 4.0 ZJ?

I know on a V8 ZJ you would take 1.5" (maybe even 2") of the xj lift height.
However, I pulled a set of front springs off a Limited ZJ I thought was a V8 (the motor was gone and most the body parts) to put on my XJ before and they looked identical to my XJ's OE springs, so they ended up in scrap. This makes me wonder if the 4.0 ZJ has the same front springs as an XJ.

I later got my hands on some actual V8 springs and I have the 2" OME I just pulled off my XJ. I'm trying to decide which to keep or sell, as my old lady has a 4.0 ZJ. It sits a bit lower in the front, and if either of these springs will level it out... or maybe it'll end up with the proper OME springs all the way around.
 
Going off RRO's website (which I use now only for reference), they list an OME medium duty and a heavy duty not specific to engine size. The HD iirc is the 934 used for 3" XJ springs. They say these springs on a ZJ net 1.25-1.5". I'm not sure however if that difference is between the V8 and L6, MD and HD springs, or just vehicle to vehicle.

When I talked to my local Jeep parts manager, he said there was several different spring options on the ZJ (trim level, eng size, etc) and wasn't much more help than that. I talked to him several months ago when I had a pair of ZJ coils that looked identical to oe on my XJ.
