my new to me 98 Grand Cherokee 5.9 limited 4x4 needs a better stance with some new tires. I see both lifts springs/coils and all at different price.

I want cheap but want everything needed to keep chassis in stock alinement specs.

not looking for high lifts with big tires. rather raise the front about 2" higher than the rear at stock ride height. I have already ditched the stock 16" rims for some 8" x 15" spoke rims with a 4" back set with 235/75/15 good year wrangler radials.

I want it nose up a little to transfer weight to the rear and give it that nose up stance. more for trail/sand dunes off road. not much just enough to notice.

rear center wheel well is 33" front wheel well is 31"

so spacer lift kit says to measure and add difference of the 2 measurements to level it on all 4 corners. = 2" to level ride height all 4 corners.

so a 3" spacer would put it 1" higher up front. or a 4" for 2" higher front ride height.

so here are some ?s I have before I decide what to buy.

1) what's all needed for a 3" spacer lift up front? same ? for a 4" lift.

2) at what lift is a track bar drop or adjustable rod needed?

3) at what lift does it need longer control arms?

4)how much lift before front driveshaft problems? (CV front end/double u-joint rear on shaft)

pros and cons on spacer lifts VS spring lifts?

TIA
