Default Standard ride height measurement

Does anyone know what the standard ride height should be as measured from the wheel centers to the guards? (i.e. ignoring tire size) I'm trying to work out if my XJ is already 1" or 2" higher, as it does have some OME shocks and appears a little higher than others I have seen around.

Cheers
