Default Trying to id a lift

I am looking for info on the drop of a pitman arm for a lift. How much does a OEM arm have, how much for a 2" lift, 3 and 4?
Also does anyone know what this number is "XJ3FCO1" I found it on the after market coils in my XJ. I am still trying to ID the name of the lift. All I know is the springs are painted machine grey.

Use a stock pitman for springs up to 4"...unless you like bumpsteer and wonky handling.

So your saying a OEM is good until I go 4" or more right?

Yes the only thing to change out is the trackbar.

I was not sure, usually I change everything at once, but I bought this project half done.
Thanks

Wonder if the lift was a kit? If so what do the shocks look like?

Even at 4.5" you can likely get away with the stock pitman. It's when you get to 5-6" when things get more complicated with the steering and some will have to install a DPA along with other needed components.
