Default need some help guys! Coil spring measurments!!

i need some measurements of yalls lifted jeeps... im kinda *** backwards on this because i chose a axle and install method that makes me have to have a specific amount of lift to keep my radius arms from hitting the unibody... i need measurements from the very top of the front coil springs... to the very bottom of the coil spring... at 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, 6.5 inches of lift... NO SPACERS INCLUDED please... with the jeep sitting in your driveway on the tires... "weight on wheels" as we call it in the aviation world... so this would mean at normal ride height... also V8 conversions wont help... winch bumper and winch would be even better but not required... i need this so i know what size lift springs to get...

maybe a pic will help you see what im doing... right now my dana 60 has the factory 05 radius arms... there frickin huge... im not gonna use them really (plan to build my own or slim these or buy f250 aftermarket ones already done i dunno but im keeping the measurements... same as XJ longarms) the top line of the radius arms is gonna be the same no matter what arms i have though... so because these arms are mounting directly UNDER my unibody at full stuff the radius arms will hit right in line with the frame... im planning 37's and the least amount of lift possible (hoping 3.5)... so knowing these measurements will be awesome so ill know what size lift im gonna run to keep the arms away from the frame at normal ride height and bumpstop accordingly... make sense? thanks abunch guys!
