Rear XJ springs seem to be the cheapest/easiest way to go. Most people are adding individual leafs to them to stiffen them up. You can put them up front as well with an Astro box to stretch the front.

If you search pirate4x4.com for CJ stretch you'll get more than enough reading to keep you busy.

Alot of the guys on jeepaholics.com run waggys. They seem to have good luck with the springs from JC whitney for some reason. I don't know who the real manufactuer is.
