Hey 84runner,1997-present Jeeps,are TJs,and they have coils all the way around.1987-1995s,are YJs(leaf springs under axle).And prior to that are CJs.As for the girl looking to get a Jeep,if you're not gonna do any extreme wheelin',I would get a regular TJ,one with a factory 44 rear would be nice,but the Dana 35 rear will survive,if you don't run a tire larger than a 33,and if you dont wheel it hard.The 4.0 litre motors are really nice and powerful.I would go with a 4 inch suspension lift,with 32 or 33 inch All Terrains,since you're going to be doing mostly street driving.As far as the lift,Fabtech makes a nice one,I use to work at 4 Wheel Parts,and we sold quite a few,but there's a few other manufacturers out there,Rancho,Skyjacker,Rubicon Express,Rock Krawler,Pro Crap I mean Pro Comp,Etc.I know this post is old but I hope this helps.If not,hey,I was bored
