Walt---As you may know, spring free length is only one of the
measurements that determine compressed height. The diameter of the wire
and the number of coils is also relative. (The more coils per relative
spring length, the lower the rate, and of course the thicker the wire
the higher the rate.) It is an easy check to compare these numbers to
the springs that you are replacing. 
Springs will sag, rather than grow.
