There's a guy selling springs and he doesn't know for sure what lift they are... the uncompressed size is 22.5" long... what would that translate to in lift?

All depends on what the spring rate is.

What??? I am retarded on this kind of stuff. Is that not even close/wrong info, or just a bad spring rate?

I bought a pair of Ranger coils at the junk yard thinkin to get some lift out of em and they were the same length as my XJ's stock springs uncompressed. But the wire was a lot thicker so they probably would've sagged less under the weight of the vehicle. I ended up not using em though cause its too much work to swap for no reason...Got RE 4.5s shortly thereafter for free from a friend

Not quite sure abut this discussion right now... So these springs are super stiff? Is that really a bad thing? Keep in mind this is NOT my DD. I do drive it to work every so often which is about a mile away but other than that I no longer use it for long distance driving... Off road only

Most XJ springs run about 150-200 lbs!
