Default skyjacker coil question

Hi guys.. I have a set of XJ SKYJACKER coils with unknown amount of lift. maybe someone here knows.

They measure 19" free length. I know stock are OEM are 17" from other research, however, I've also read that RE 3" lifts are shorter than stock due to the higher spring rate.

Anyone??? am I looking at 4.5", 5" 6" -- without bolting them up I don't have a clue.

:r

My guess is those would be the 3" lift version. I have the Skyjacker 6" coils and they measure out right around 22".

I have the springs you are talking about, I got them off the front of a ZJ at the JY and got a little more than 3" out of them for lift.
