Smile Bought 98 Cherokee Limited

Hi all, Im new here, so please bear with me.


I recently bought a 98 Cherokee Limited with 192K miles, runs great, but was neglected a bit. Has 31 X10.5 steel wheels/tires and has Rough Country lift. But I have no idea if its 3, 4 or, 5 inch. Can anyone tell me how I can determine, or where to start, what all is on this jeep? I think the diffs/axles are stock. I know the intake is not stock, and it has RUSTY'S stamped on the intake. Thanx much

Welcome..

A quick way to check lift height..

measure from the center of wheel hub to bottom of the fender flare.
stock non-Upcountry/Chief Front -- about 17 1/2 inches,
stock Rear about 17 inches).

These are the approximate stock heights with no cargo and a full tank.

Then you have to rule in sag from aging. That might have been accurate 7-15 years ago. Lol

OP can still use the information for his aftermarket lift though. Ha. Just pulling your leg.
