long story but it would be a big help if i could get some measurements at 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, 6.5in lifts... just from the bottom of the spring to the top of the spring at normal ride height sittin pretty level... V8 swaps thanks anyways! bumpers and winches would be even better... but not required... trying to figure out what size lift i gotta run for this new axle... you dont have to have them all of course... Thanks!

you might want to ask for spring rate too if they have it along with spring length

I have TJ front 4" OME coils (per what my friend told me they were) with a bumper no winch and a 4.0 sitn at 16.5" at ride height.

Ya that would be nice as well... don't think people know this though is the killer...

Thanks boss... helps abunch! I got that same length from another forum for 4.5in springs... thinking three spring rate may come into affect more then I thought... but it'll give me a good starting point! Thanks again!

With a V8 swap in the front I am 940Lbs at each corner.
Exocaged, plated frame, winch, full hood and fenders.

Figure out what height you want then buy the spring rate and height that will get you there.

I run a 160lb rate for the frist inch then 400lb rate for remaining 5 in of up travel, I like it.

A 4.5in lift coil will not be the same height it depends on spring rate.
two 4.5in lift coils with different weight then stock will not be the same height.
I gave you what you need to know, an estimate of your weight
