Spring lengths was created by Mooser

Recently bought another jimny it’s been lifted I think it’s 3” but I’d like to be sure as it’s broken both front springs and don’t wan to order +3” springs if it’s only a 2” lift

There's so many different types of spring that offer something approximate to a 3 inch lift, some are soft and long others are shorter but stiffer it's a minefield. How tall is the arch to hub gap on the none snapped end of the car, that will be a good place to start on matching the height. Also and this is just my opinion but it would be a lot easier to get a set of 4 springs from one source and start again with a known quantity.

Lambert is correct, an unknown spring will be hard to match. If one has snapped, then the chances are its a cheap-n-nasty kit so best replaced anyway. (or a really old and past it now kit)

example of the size difference: orange is Trailmaster 2" petrol, green is Zanfi 3" diesel, but a lot longer without load on it.

It looks to be the pro comp kit that’s on it I considered welding one of the springs back together to measure the gap hub to arch but unsure how accurate it would be after that much heat
