Default buddy bought a jeep and....

he says it is lifted 4 inches but mines 41/2 inches.. and it looks like it sits 2 inches below mine with 33" tires. question is how do we measure what size the cherokee is?? i.e. the lift on it? i heard measure the front springs to get the size of the vehicle or some crap??

you could pull up to a stock one in a parking lot theres plenty out there and measure theirs then measure yours then get rid of the difference in tire size. boom you got it

is doesn't relay mater if the axle is on top or bottom of the leaf
