Need help with original 89 XJ "size"

Hello guys, i need some help.

I've recently purchased a 89 4.0L XJ, the problem here is that the suspension is not the "original" one, the Jeep seems to be higher then the "standard" ones, but unfortunly, i can't tell how much high it is. For a start, i've 6 "leafs" in the rear axle, someone told me that by factory release it has only 4. in the front i've some "red" coils, with no spacers but cant find the brand of them :(
Also, Rancho RS9000 shocks installed.

What i need to know is the XJ "original" size so that i can measure mine to get an idea how high it is, because, altough it seems higher, right now with 32 tires fitted it needs some serious trimming, or even... go higher ;)
and to go higher, since i'm a cheap bastard... i was thinking in doing some shackles + coil spacers.

Thanks for reading and help ;)

Sounds like a 3 in rancho lift. Check the top of the leafs for white rancho lettering to verify. I have a rancho 3" lift with 2"spacers and fit 32's no problem.
