Perhaps I wasn't clear enough.. So lets say a rustys 6.5" xj lift coil compressed. I don't have a stock coil or jeep to get any stock measurements from.. I figure there's someone here that would know or could take a quick measurement..
I'm looking I put cherokee coils under a different rig

the compressed length will vary with the amount of weight applied, so if the other rig weighs different, the height will be different...
Further complicating things - different manufacturers use different spring rates, so the height difference will vary depending on the manufacturer also.

That all is true but irrelevant to my question.. My first post stated under a 4.0 and I clearly stated Rustys coils! All the math had been done to adjust for weight difference.. Just wanna know the height of a compressed rustys 6.5" coil under the weight of a 4.0 4door
You're asking for an arbitrary number.

tire and rim size
hey guys i just bought a couple months ago my first car which is a 2000 cherokee sport 2 door. The interior is mint and the outside has little scratches here and there. Anyways im planning on lifting it with the 4.5 Rough Country lift. I want to put the 15x8 pro comp rock crawler series 97 wheels on it but im just confused as to which tires to buy and the size and widths of the tire. I am a beginner so i just want to get everything clear before i go and buy anything. If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

X2 a can not count the amount I warrantied out when I worked for 4wp. Cause they would cup, sidewalls are crazy weak , they wore fast.
I want to know how a at tire cleans mud better then a mud terrain. My. Km2's have cleaned clay just fine with a few blips of the throttle.
