Default rustys offroad lift question

I found a jeep in local yard with a rustys lift kit. the shocks say rustys anywas.... I am wondering if someone can make sense of the numbers I got off of the lift and help me figure out how tall it is... the front coils said ROR 350 and the rear leaf pack said rcpxj35-0. The rear pack had 5 leafs... any help is much appreciated!!!

its got to be a 3"-3.5" lift because I just bought some coils from them and they said 405 on them and they are 4.5" coil springs, hopefully this helps you out.

i have the same coils in the front of mine and they have the same numbers on them but them with the 2" puck measures out to seven so deductive reasoning tells me that the spring is measuring 5" they have the 405 number

according tothere site the rustys rcls450 is the 4.5 the rcls350 is listed as the 3.5 springs but prob sit closer to 4 if you can get them for a good price i would go with it the rear leaf package wich is bothe leaves is $229 plus shipping and the coils are listed as 3" hd coils and listed for $99 a piece plus shipping i have the 405 ciols and the 405 leaves with an add a leaf with 2" shackles to get my rear to sit at 7 and the front is the 405 coils with the 2" rubber puck to sit a 7 also

Is weight sitting on the suspension?

Deduct the height from center of axle to lower lip of flare. Front 17", rear 17.5".

If you have 20 up front and 20.5 in rear it's a 3" lift.

well i tried to get the leaf packs off today and couldnt get the bolts to budge going through the hangers.... 1 of the front coils is good but the other on may be bent so I may only be able to salvage the back spring packs (if I can get them off sometime)... Guess I need PB Blaster and a BFH!! any suggestions or ideas on this one??
