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?

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

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

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.
