My Rusty's 4.5" springs are 16.5" at rest approx 'normal' weight.

With longer MJ bumpstops, approx 8.5" compression before rubber squishes.

14 wraps of 0.5" coil. Unknown rate.

<edit>I used a flashlight and a tape These have been under 1.75" spacers their whole life (Charks old springs) Been rode hard & put up wet<edit>

RE, XJ 4.5" lift coils are 17.5" at rest. Or for another frame of reference, they are 1.75" shorter than RE 6" colis at rest, they are the same length out of the vehicle.

well I have the RE 3.5" superflex lift and the springs measure out at 14.5-14.75" installed with stock bumper, etc. Keep in mind that these are 3" lift springs even though they are part of a 3.5" lift (check with RE and you'll see that's true).
