Cool lift hight??

how can i tell how much lift i got? im running 38.5 boggers.
do i just measure from the ground to the axel and from the ground to the bottom of the jeep and then compare it to a stock jeep? or is there a different way?

Ground to axle for axle clearance. Ground to frame rail for total suspension lift. Mot do not sit perfectly level so try front and rear of the frame in order to get the difference between the two.


and post a pic

looks to be in the 5 to 6 inch range man but that is just a guess since the thing is so cut up it is hard to get a good guess at it. but it looks pretty mean though

If you can figure out where the stock fender flares would have been, from the hub to bottom of the flare is 17".

I would say 8" but your fenders are so awesomely cut up now it is hard to tell.


P.S. Schmoozer that pic is funny as hell I never even paid attention to the new lambo's are their doors really like that? If so that is GREAT!
