IIRC they are something like 3 inches higher than the XJ springs, so 5.5 would, in theory, net 8.5 inches. I might be wrong about the length though...

TJ springs will give about 1/2" more lift.

This should help:

really? they lost 1.5" on mine 4.5" TJ coils netted 3" on my XJ. although they were used coils but only for a few months from what i understand. TJ fronts are lighter than an XJ iirc and a ZJ/JK are heavier than it.

It depends on the coil, should have clarified that. Sorry.

Take a look the the spring data in the link I posted and you'll see that there are a variety of heights and combo's out there. No 2 manufactures are exactly alike.

Yes, a ZJ coil will be be stiffer than a XJ coil if you're referring to Rubicon Express spring, but not all coils are created the same.
