Default springs-who knows?

I scored some Rubicon coil springs off my Buddy for free. They were on his xj , but he doesn't know how much lift they were. So does anyone know?
I measured them at 22.5" long.

Probably RE 3.5 springs but there should be a part number etched into them that will allow ya to look em up on RE's site. But as far as I know RE's XJ springs are grey/silver not black..

The RE 3.5" coils measure to what most other 4.5" coils do.. So there most likely 3.5" RE's than, based on the info given...

Times 2 except the newer RE coils have got a paper tag and are no longer etched IIRC. The measurements you gave match the 3.5" RE coils.

given the color, and length, they look identical to the pro-comp springs I'm running. if so, they dont list for an XJ, but are TJ 5.5" fronts...they're a 175lbs/inch spring rate, and give about 4.5" on an otherwise stock XJ.
