Default coil spring lengths

What's up all saw an ad on craigslist guy selling a set of coil springs says they measure 20" in length. Any one know how much lift they will give over stock?

The 4.5" Rough Country coils I have in front of me are 22" brand new. So I'd guess they're for around 2.5-3" lift, since they're 20" tall.

Could give you a range of lift heights. If they are super stiff they will give you more lift, and will suck dick on the road.

Coils are cheap enough..why not get some from a vendor

Where's the "like" button? lol

Get the measurements and use this calculator.

Enter in number of coils, wire diameter, outside diamter, and your 20" free length. That will get you close.
