So my dad's 98 XJ is getting a snow plow. We got a Snow Bear Universal, that mounts into a front receiver hitch. Plow assembled weighs just over 200 lbs. Front springs are already sagging on it, as the 235/75's are getting close to the fenders.
He wants to put in new springs, but wants something heavier duty, or even something out of another model jeep that will like a V8 ZJ? He does not plan on lifting this jeep, but if it ends to be up an inch or two in the front then so be it. What can I use?

OME TJ Front Heavy Duty springs OME-2933
Probably give about an inch of lift in the front, good for a plow.

I tried the ZJ v8 coils in my xj, I doubt it did anything. Maybe if you use the up country ZJ v8 coils you'll gain something. Maybe try two spring isolators on top of each coil.

Ok thanks guys, I'll look into the OME stuff!
