Default How much lift do I have?

So I built my own lift and am adjusting my control arms. What is the stock height of my cherokee and where do I measure it?
Thanks

from the top of the axle tube(not the steering linkage or an mount but the actual tube) to the bottom of the frame rail should be:

6.75" front
6" rear

stock measurements. Anything more than that is your lift
