My used xj has a budget lift and now I need to replace the worn rear leafs.

The shackle measures 6 Inches from center of bolt to center bolt.

I estimate that that should give me 1 1/2 inch lift above that of any spring combination I put in. Is that correct. (I calculated this by assuming the stock shackle is 3 inch bolt to bolt, and I'd get half of the lift from the difference between 6 inch and 3 inches.)

How much lift would upcountry springs give me, over stock springs with this set up.
 
Up Country springs ride approximately 1" higher than "stock."
