if they are stock springs, and you have a 91=96 XJ, being the newest one is 15 years old, then new springs are always the best way to go, but stock ones will look flat if they are sagging, with lift springs you have to measure body to spring clearance to be able to tell

it differs with lift springs and stock springs. which ones are you measuring for, if lift springs, which brand and lift size, shackles or not?
