Default 3" Lift Coils - How Tall?

How tall are 3' Lift Front Coils not in the vehicle? I just bought sum from craigslist but there in a Moog CC780 Box, when I run that number it comes back Spring for Jeeps a bunch of models including my cherokee.

The springs I got are right at 19" Tall is this right or did I get ripped?

Stock spring are about 17"... But you can't determine the amount of lift by measuring the length of the springs. Lift in a spring is determined by a combination of wire diameter, coil spacing, # of twists to the coil, and length of spring.
If the springs you bought are heavier wire than your stockers, they should give lift, but how much will not be known till you instal them.

K just wondering cuase the coils are red butlooks like they may have been black, but any spring will be black, and it also came with a long aal and a short aal, 4 really long shocks, and t-case drop spacers. I'm gonna try and get it all on tomorrow.

Think I'll do the front first just to make sure so my *** ain't ridin high and the front sittin down like a hot rod

Got the wheels put on, got a set of 265-70-16's to go on as soon as I get the lift on
