I scored some lift springs and pro-comp alum spacers for an xj yesterday at the junkyard, they're powder-coated real nice, and look tall, 25 bucks, couldn't pass them up, anyway, is there an equation or formula for determining the lift size, there's no part # or anything.

Uhmm... Well, yea, the spacer was a no brainer, before i even removed them, i was just sayn it was an extra score, The springs thou, are a silver/hammered finish. The rear have a hell of an arch, they are pretty damn near new, (I was able to remove them with only my 3/8 ratchet!!! Paid 70 bucks for front springs,alumn coil spacer and rear packs!! Im gonna get these on and by by lift blocks!

Well, not including the tiny coil at the top, i counted 10, incl the very bottom. A buddy told me that 11 is 6.5, would that be right? im guessing 4 /4.5??

Here are some pics of what came off the junkyard jeep. 

For under a HUNDRED BUCKS!! Needed springs, but when i saw the rest of what was on it, i had to take it!
Again, still not sure what i have here, other than the spacers that i took off of it. Hope its more than my current 3 inch coils and block set-up!!!!!!
The spring diameter is around 1/2 inch i believe, the rear springs say STANDENS, theyr'e made in Canada. Wanted to point out my "stock rusty spring" next to the yard stuff, and What you see is how it was on the jeep, very surprised at he condition!!!!!!!! Score
