They are longer, but I'm not sure if they'd work. I've never heard of using TJ springs. A lot of people put ZJ springs in to get about 2" of lift up front.

i've heard of the zj swap but nobody is selling those springs for dirt cheap like these tj springs and for 20 bucks its almost worth it to find out those plus a minor bp and id be rideing a little higher and funner

The TJ coils work just fine. I have a set of OME medium duty coils on the front of my XJ. I was told they were 2" lift on a Wrangler. Currently I"m running a Teraflex BB spacer (1.5") and the TJ OME coils (2") and I'm sitting at 4" total lift over stock. Honestly, I think they are 3" coils. Wrangler springs should yield less lift than stated. Softer spring rate and less distance between spring perches. If you are looking at stock coils, I think you will actually lose lift. My two pennies.
