that is probably true, I know my 58's were slightly shorter then the 60's I picked up both low mileage. most likely my 58's were defective or maybe the 60's were the defective ones. Either way shoddy work by Chrysler regardless

Swap our 14 55 springs for 18 59 and these was only .25" difference in hight between them but the Jeep sat 1,25" higher.

Unsure why the physical height of the mopar springs is important to know.

Physical length means nothing. Spring rate determines height under load.

Eh don't 100% agree with that comment. A standard coil that's 4 inches longer then stock is a pretty good idea of what your in for. Looking at a spring you can tell whether its a progressive or linear. Or maybe it's linear and variable. Either way.
