Noob in need of help
Last year i bought a 1997 jeep cherokee with what i was told is a 3" lift. Now it is time to replace the shocks and i want to make sure that the lift height is correct.
So does anyone know how to determine the size of my lift aside from taking it to a mechanic or asking the guy i bought it off of?

the stock lift height is 17.5 inches from center of the wheel hub to bottom of fender in the front, and 17 inches in the back, measure what you have now on yours and do the math

Yes, measure while the vehicle is sitting on the ground (level if possible).
Measure from the bottom of the fender flare at the center to the center of the wheel.
I thought the front was 17" and the rear was 17.5", although according to my wife I am usually wrong. ;-)
