Default R.E. 3.5" coils on my XJ tomorrow

Hello,

I am installing 3.5" R.E. coils on my 99 XJ tomorrow. They are used, but fairly new. I bought them from sfcherokeeguy. Up until now I have had 3" coil spacers. Just wondering if R.E. coils are true to their rated size, or are they gonna be taller. Anybody have experience with these?

Used RE coils should sit close to their rated height, maybe a little higher

3.5" re springs will sit taller unless you have a winch bumper and winch then you'll be at 3.5"

So, it sounds as I hear general agreement that yet will sit a little high? I am hoping to end up around 4" anyway so it should be good then.
