Default front 3" BDS springs swaped into the rear, How high?

I did the F-R swap in my old ZJ and it worked well. But I found a good deal on a set of 4" front springs and I was wondering how high the 3" front springs would lift the rear.

Thanks.

hahaha wow, thats a bit to high for the time being. But that could save some money when it comes time for long arms and what not.

Thanks for the help

I did a F-R swap. I had to cut a coil off the spring. They are from a zj with 4.0 motor.
