A: I think the lowers are the same spot as the leaf spring front hangers. I 
would graft the ZJ rear section into an XJ. Frankly though, I prefer rear 
leaf for offroading. Adding hydraulics for traction controll (off a 
joystick) would be even better with a 1/4 elipse rear spring. You'd need a 
VERY high angle driveshaft though (we did that with a 4x4 '56 Chevy a 
neighbor put together as a "clown car" so it lifted up and down a looong 
ways while messing around at the Rodeo)

just as an abstract problem - how hard would it be to swap a zj rear
coil setup under an xj?  i know there are coil-conversion kits.
