I think that the XJ springs are 52" with 23" pin location.
Dakota springs are 56" and 24" pin location. Gives 1" stretch and requires RC shackle relocation boxes to use on XJ.

i was looking for lift spring lengths i guess, thats how i came up using the xj springs with the chart. with lift spring the overall length will be 52(51.5) but with once you measure straight across and not follow the arch it will be less like 50inches or so, right now you can kinda see the front springs are flat you cant see my shackle at all for how much of an angle its at. so i was trying to see what 3.5 lift spring length is compared to a 4.5 or so? if that makes since at all? and i have them on the front of my blazer not the rear to clear that up too.

51.25" eye-to-eye at ride height with almost vertical shackle angle. Can reference previous picture for shackle angle.
