Default Junkyard Coil Question??
So i just picked up some random coils at a JY. No name or part number on them. Just wanting to know if there is a way (i.e. Equation, Formula, etc.) for figuring out how much lift they will provide?

They were on a Cherokee already along with some red non-adjustable LCAs. I just want to know how much lift they will provide so that i can build a lift around them and get the proper parts to match.

Look pretty beefy, short though. Only 18ish inches. I know length doesn't matter though.

Any ideas???

Skyjacker and Ranch were the only 2 companys that used red springs

Thats incorrect. My rough country 3inch lift had red coils. Those look like a 2 - 3 inch lift. Just compare em to your stock springs and that will give you an idea.

If they came off a cherokee with stock Uppers / Lowers... Or in this case none adjustable... Those coils are less then 3.5inch.
