re 5.5 coils.. need some help plz

hey guys, I have a set of RE 5.5" XJ coils, and I am putting them, and all the running gear out of my old XJ into a 63 scout 80... i know heracy...

but i bone headed the whole ordeal, i forgot to measure the coils at ride hight so that i have a basic idea of where i need to place my upper coil mounts.

so, could one or more of you great people on here run out and measure the length of the coils with full weight of your rig on them for me? that would be totally awesome if you could. i know they are about 23 inches long with no weight on them haha thanks.

Mine are 17.25". With this setup on the front.


I don't know how used they were when I got them & I've had them almost 2 yrs. JIM.

awesome, thank you
