The GVWR is the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating... Not curb weight. A gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) is the maximum allowable total weight of a road vehicle or trailer when loaded - i.e including the weight of the vehicle itself plus fuel, passengers, cargo, and trailer tongue weight.
The difference between gross weight and curb weight is the total passenger and cargo weight capacity of the vehicle. For example, a pickup truck with a curb weight of 4,500 pounds (2,000 kg) might have a cargo capacity of 2,000 pounds (910 kg) pounds, meaning it can have a gross weight of 6500 pounds when fully loaded.

(borat voice) Yeees... I would guess that the springs could support the GVWR plus a little extra ehh?  I'll have to drive over to the scales and see what my jeeps curb weight is.. It's got to be close to 4200 lb. I've got a set of stock Dodge 1 ton coils if want to trade.... |

Back when i had a 3 inch lift and 31s, with nothin done to my xj but front coils and a AAL in the back it was 3400 completly gutted. Its around 4500 fully load now. |

This was sent tto me on the IFSJA forum today. Makes sense to me.
6" TJ coils will get you 2-3" of lift due to your weight, just like my wife's ZJ. The ZJ's and WJ's are the same weight as your 74, if you want coils and 6" go with a skyjacker 8" XJ coil. I went this route and ended with 6.5" of lift, add in isolator height.
