My lift??
 
I bought my 98 Cherokee Sport a few years back and the previous owner had a lift on it for plowing snow or something of the sort. I'm not sure how high it is, I have 31" tires. Is there a trick some one out there may know to finding out how high the lift on my Jeep is?

its either 2 or 3 in if u got 31s.. look and see if there are any blocks under the leafs..or spacers on the coils..if there is measure them

center of the wheel hub to bottom of fender flare, stock is 17ish if your around 20inchs then thats a 3in lift

It could also be an 8.5" Long arm.......
Tire size doesn't dictate lift height

yeah but think about it some wacko just a little lift on it for plowin snow. wouldnt think he had a monster lift on it. i was basing it off of what the guy said.

stock is a 4 leaf pack and thats a 5 so it looks close to a 3" bastard pack. so you should have around 3 inches of lift

Thanks for the help everyone!

Call me crazy but I would just measure the front coils. Stock with average wear at ride hight is 12" from top to bottom of the coil. Also look and measure spacers if any. Rear leafs are hard to gage since people make basterd packs and do crazy things like use F150 leafs.
