On the average, how much would you expect a coil spring to settle over time?
I have 2 inch spacers to put on my xj, but a broken spring, so I'm going to replace both of them. Would there be a noticable difference in height between new and used coils?

i wish i could answer ur question..however,i just put some lifted ones..(well alot more coils) on my xj..w/my 2" spacers and it just about evened out my jeep!!!!..i also just added a 3/4 thick rear leaf..and reformed the others...now it's pretty tough...im really happy about the progress ive made..w/a long way to go...i pray the rear,and the front hold up until i can upgrade...good luck,n God Bless!!!!

I guess another question is how long it takes them to sag.
I can save 50 bucks by getting used coils, but if they are shorter than new ones it would hardly seem worth the savings.
Or am I just overthinking this
Id hate to use a short coil and my spacer just to get the height of a stock coil
