Default Need helP identifying some coils...

So I'm trying to buy some used coil springs. The seller claims they are 3.5" coils from RE or RC. He's not exactly sure but I know RC does not make 3.5" coils. So can anyone help.

Does anyone have a measurement of either the RE or RC coil and a picture would help as well.

What color are they? RC and Rusty's are black and Rusty's will have their name in white on a coil, RE are grey.

3.0 to 3.5 depending on what they were off of tj or xj. 22.5 its made for a 4.5 on Xj and 5.5 on tj. So they would fall in the 3.5-3 range. Which means the guy was prob right. Good luck man.
