so i measured front and back from axle tube to frame. it was on a slight incline but nothing major but here's what i got, 12" in the front and only 10" in the rear. whats up with that? on flat ground it doesnt look like the back end sags. In the pic above i think it looks pretty level. could the slight incline effect it that much?

Measure from the center of the axle to the bottom of the flair
18"= aprox. 1" of lift
19=2
20=3
21=4
22=5
23=6
24=7
25=8
26=9
27=10
ect.
Wheel and tire size are irrelivant to lift but can effet ground clearance

What did you get in the rear?Mine is 5'' in the back and a lil better than 4'' in front and it looks level because the front is taller to begin with usually.KB2rocket's numbers are right on the money,but like it says stock measurements can vary within 13mm or 1/2''

Here's a picture of it sitting next to a 1992 xj. Mine has 31's on it but plan on going bigger once I get the money, well i plan on doing a lot more when I get money. So from what I can tell its more closer to a 5-6 inch lift?

measured the rear center hub to bottom of flare an got 21.25 inches. Anyone know what the rear stock would measure out to be? or is it that I have a 6" and not a 4.5" like the guy thought that sold it to me.

Looks like I'm going to have to park on some level ground and take some crap out of the back to get a true measurement.
