I just bought a unknown lift off a wrecked jeep at a junkyard with coils, fixed lower control arms, shocks, and extended shackles. The jeep sat pretty tall but the engine and transmission was out so it didn't have a lot of weight on the springs. The springs are 21in long about 2in thick and have about a inch or so between the coils, does anyone have a idea of how big of a lift this is???

A picture would be helpful here. How many times does the steel go around? What's the thickness?

pastrickland901

13 times around and 2.25-2.5in thick. I can take a few pics tomorrow, they look pretty tall on the jeep without the engine and drivetrain so idk how much all the weight will compress the springs.

I meant the thickness of the steel

pastrickland901

oh its 5/8's of a inch thick

New Rubicon Express 4.5" lift coils are 21" tall.
My used 4.5" lift coils are also 21" when unloaded.

Thanks man!

Thanks man! mine are black so idk if someone painted them or if they came that way. But when I put my weight on them they compress a little bit

Heres a pic of the coil beside the fixed lower control arm that came off the jeep

Can u take a measurement of eye to eye on control arms?

pastrickland901

Yea its 16 3/4in

Do you not see a number of any sort on the spring?

XJwonders

I can't find on this forum but there is a thread that list of eye to eye measurement for control arms that correspond to each inch of height.

U can try searching for it. When u find it, check what height the 16-3/4 inch go with.
