leaf spring question
so i purchased my 96 cherokee country from someone that didn't know much and he bought it lifted. its the fabtech lift and it's old, so needless to say the add a leaf on the stock rear leaf is sagging, im trying to get back to 4" of lift, with the 5" shackles that came with the kit in the rear i'm thinking 3" lift springs, it's just hard to tell because the rear measures 18.5" from wheel center to fender bottom. i guess my question is would the 3" springs be too much?

that's what i was thinking, the shackles are 5" long which i think would give me .825" of lift? and then getting new 3" lift springs in the rear since mine are sagging, the sagging just makes it hard to figure out how tall it will be in the back
