I know this may be already posted somewhere but I am having a hard time finding it. my heep looks to have some kind of lift in the front. something that leveled it out. I went out and measured from the center of the wheel to the bottom of the fender and it measured (19in - front and 17in - back). what is the normal measurements when stock? also does anyone know how much thicker ZJ coils are than XJ? does anyone have the measurement of the ZJ coil thickness? thanks.

Stock is 17.5" front and 17" in the rear, to the bottom of the flare UNtrimmed. here is another method, http://www.mike-g.net/jeep/yinyang/tech/rideheight/

I just measured using the other option and the front is 7.5inches and the rear is 6.25 inches. I know the upcountry package would mean it sits one inch higher. how else would I know if I have that package? it looks like the front is about an inch higher and the rear is only a 1/4 inch higher but has some sagging.

trying to figure out why the front sits so much higher that stock?

those could've been easily removed from the previous owner.

^not necessarily true, i have 2 stock xj's at my shop with factory skids, one is a pioneer and the other is a laredo. 90 and 91 respectively.

but i think if you have a country xj, you should have factory skids.

why does my heep sit one inch higher in the front than stock height?

Do you have extra spacers in the front? Somebody may have put ZJ coils in the front. Rear may have been lifted in the past also, just sagged back to stock height now. Count the leaves, does it have a AAL?

the rear has no add a leafs. there is no spacer up front. I am thinking maybe the previous owner swapped ZJ coils upfront, which is why I was wondering the dimensions on the ZJ coils. does anyone know?
