they are stiffer because of the extra weight of the 4.0 so yeah if your front end is sagging because of aftermarket bumpers.. winch.. etc.. springs off a 4.0 may help level it out.

Don't know how much the cost but I went with a 1" spacer in the front (already had a lift) and it leveled it out nicely for $20.

Swap springs to ZJ or Rubicon for a 1.5-2" lift.

I wouldn't stack two but you could look for a 3".

Since you all know i'm shopping for some 31" tires, is it recommendable to get a little lift like the one mentioned here with rubicon springs to clear them, or will they fit perfect with no contact at all?

31" x10.5's fit fine on a stock TJ

Yep, they will fit fine but will rub during a full flex.  The 2" BB looks a lot better.  Its cheap, easy and will look better with those tires.  My sister put one on with her 31x10.50's and the Jeep looks SO much nicer.

would this be an easy thing with no modification needed or how hard would it be to put the zj springs in?
