Default Using TJ springs in an XJ build?

Are Skyjacker 4" lift springs for a TJ of any use in XJ builds?

Well, the springs will fit, however thered is a lot of conflicting information on how much more or less lift they will give.
I have some TJ springs on mine that I was told were 6" and they give about 1" less than that on the XJ. They are Rusty's.

If you have the springs sitting around, you might as well put them on and see what you think. I would assume it would give you about 3" of lift. But like I said, there are threads that say it is more lift, less left, the same, etc. Also lift manufacturer will be a factor as spring rates are not all the same.

The reason I ask is that I have 2 sets, one new and one with about 200 miles on them. The customer didn't like them so we swapped them out. We have stopped selling Skyjacker and have these left over. Looking to sell them.
I'll list part numbers tomorrow if anyone is interested.

I run TJ springs cause they are a little softer but they do give a little less lift.
