Ways to identify lift.

Picking up an XJ soon. Has 32x11.50x15 mtrs. All leaf in rear, and front has a coil spacer 2"?, stock control arms.
Anybody have any measurements or thoughts on amount of lift?

Welcome! :wave:

Possibly 2-3"... If you say 2" coil spacers on stock CA's, AND on stock coils, then chances are its a 2" lift... But only way to tell for sure is for you to crawl under that thing & Sherlock Holmes what's there

For the rear, could be AAL (add-a-leaf) on stock leaf springs, or a new aftermarket pack, & (most likely in your case) extended shackles...



Enjoy your stay here on .org, & remember to search & research throughout this site & google... "site:naxja.org..." has become my go to when searching google... Just keep in mind, XJ might be new to you & you'll have a lot of questions, but they made XJ's for 17 years, & production ceased just over 10 years ago... Throughout those years, people like us have been breaking/fixing/modifying/upgrading them, & since they stopped making them, devoted owners have striven to keep them on the road/trail... The internet has flourished since then as well, & has enabled enthusiasts across the nation (in some cases across the world) to share their experiences/modifications/solutions common to the XJ... :lecture:

Point being... whatever issue/question arises to do with your XJ, chances are it's been experienced or discussed, your answer is out there, just need to SEARCH to find it

Measure lift height from the center of the rim to the bottom of the stock fender flare. Stock XJ's measure 17.5 at the front and 17.0 at the rear.

The XJ pictured I would guess has a 4" lift.

does anyone have a measurement from the axle or spring pertch to the floor or unibody frame rail for a stock height xj? measuring to the flares or fenders is kind of pointless since 80% or more lifted xj's are trimmed. i dont really care too much about numbers, but it would be good to know if the need arises.
