Default Stock coil springs? Length?

How long are stock coil springs? How much lift would 22.5 inch long springs provide if any?
Thanks.

yes so 22.5=5.5 on a tj so 22.5=4.5 on an xj provided you stay within 170-200 bound rating that should be right give or take 1/2"

i lied to you. spec for rough country 6.5 coils

These springs have been very popular with custom suspension builders. These work great in custom suspensions such as 4-link or others. The spring rate is 180lbs/inch and the free length is 22.5". Installed height is about 18.75" in an XJ Jeep Cherokee with a 4.0 liter engine. The spring rate is excellent for front or rear for most mid-size vehicles.
