How much lift will 19.5 inch coils give. Or how long are 5.5 lift coils?

It is hard to say
My K Bar S springs were a good 6 inches shorter than my cage springs, but it only lifted the truck a inch more. It all depends on how they are made, and the spring rate.

Depends on how soft the coil is.
When I replaced my Duff's 3.5" with Cage 3.5" the Cage springs were 2" longer unloaded, (sorry, I didn't measure them).
I called Cage thinking they had mistakenly sent me the 5.5"s. They said I had the right ones, and sure enough, when I installed them they were the right height.
Once I used them it was obvious how much softer they were. I had a lot more flex, (and body roll).
