HI

I just bought a 96 sprot , it has a lift but how can i check how high it is , I was going to purchase new shocks but so many options in height i do not want to get the wrong ones, , So my newbie question is how do i check how I my lift is , i can post a picture for some of you experts
also manybe i can count the front coils on the springs, or measure the rocker, what os a stock cherokee sport rocker height

thanks!!!

 

here is a pic of the side

that is sorta hard to understand. pics hard to see also. must be a better way to find out ride height

 

i didnt know how to do this either. thanks Skreed!

 

I just looked in the owner manaul , It states from the ground to the roof is 63 inchs, I just went out and measured mine, it was 66 inchs, so 3 inch lift i guess

but... i do have bigger tires on it ??

 

im not seeing the pic

 

There are 2 ways to measure that I have seen

1. The clean method if your fenders are not trimmed you can meas. from the center of the hub to the bottom of the stock flare.

2. The dirty method you meas. from the top of the axel tube to the frame rail.

I have the info at home will post later .

you can also searh dirty method on the naxja site and will find alot of info.

 

just look for a stock cherokee next time your at the grocery store and park next to them if possible (shouldn't be hard there are soo many around) and the either eyeball the difference or get all specific and grab the tape measure from your center cousel and measure it.... also take into consideration your tire size and their tire size

(that would be hilarious to see by the way, someone comparing their lifted XJ to your stock XJ as you walk outta the family fare with your lettuce, cereal, crackers, chips, pop and icecream in the cart) lol don't judge me upon the things i buy at the grocery store lmao

 

You could messure the length of the shocks that are on it fully extended fully collapsed
