truth be told, I am still gonna put the 1" body lift and pro comp spring in when I swap the 44's in and throw the 36's on (might go 37's though).
Which is yet another long enduring project.. waiting for some of my parts to come in:
Rear 84 eldorado calipers 4.88's install kits detroits
once I get those, then I have to assemble and measure, then get the steering taken care of.
at that point, I would start saving for the fabtech kit.
also I am not willing to cut the rear of my jeeps body that much....Yet.

what i see in this decision.
1. SOA in rear coil in front, rear, even with antiwrap bars you are still not 100% free from axlewrap, and limited to wheelbase mods. front, front will allow more turning radius of wheels because no leafs to hit(like mine) dont gain that much though because at harder angles u joints are hurting alot more
2.SOA in front coil in rear rear, coils eliminate ALL axlewrap issues, allow for wheelbase mods as far as you feel necisary and give better drivshaft lenghts(need to modify gas tank ) front, wheels will hit leafs before anything, but can be overcome with longer stops, and help you from accidentally locking the wheel to far and gasing it resulting in blown u joint 9 out of 10 times. steering would mainly be the same as front coils high steer crossover. i know you've probably already made up your mind i figured i'd speak my thoughts on it all. if i could, I would do coils all over, but in reality i personaly like leafs because they're easy to deal with, and usually stay where you want them to even if you break something like a panhard bar, shackle, spring mount or u bolt.

one huge down side to leaf springs in the front, is the approach angle, switching to coil overs will sove this

how much did you cut out of the housing on the drivers side?
