Default height of stock zj

I think my zj is sagging
How high should it be
94 4.0 laredo, all stock
Any measurement would be fine, rocker to ground, center of hub to wheel arch, etc
Thanks guys

The Up Country Springs are ~ 1" taller than the non Up Country ones. So if his is 19.5" and 20" the non Up Country should be about 18.5" and 19".

I did take it out on the red muddy lake bed once when the lowered the level of Douglas Lake. It did great, but I had red clay mud every where. It was reddish brown instead of white! Took two weeks to get if all off the under-carriage. Wish I'd taken pics, as it'll never happen again!

I didn't hit any holes, just slung a lot of red clay mud. It's my tow vehicle for the dolly so it's always on the roads. I just wanted to see how it felt. I'm glad I didn't get stuck, or get a ticket for slinging crap all over the road on the way home.
