So I bought this jeep from an auction and I noticed it had new rough country springs and shocks. So I was like nice new 3 inch lift sweet. Well after looking at some 3 inch lifted cherokee's on here I don't know if mine is that high. Now I haven't cut my fenders so it could be an illusion, and I did and 32x10.50x15's.























Could you all help me out.

Looks like 3" to me. Nice rig too

Edit: measure the distance from the axle to the 'frame' rail. Someone can probably chime in as to what stock height is so you have something to compare to.

Edit x2: I believe from the front axle tube to the rail is 6" on a stock XJ.

Looks about right.

About how mine looked before going up to 4.5" your gonna need some work to make those tires work with 3" of lift

Looks like some fresh exhaust work, and also your passenger rear bumpstop is wasted!

Thanks guys!!! This helps out a lot. I was thinking about bumping up to a rough country 4.5 inch x-series lift. What do you all think?

I'd leave it low cog like it is now.

That all depends on what YOU want to do with it. For me, 3" is all I need. Maybe some day, I'll go up to 4.5", if I start playing more.

Nice jeep. Auction? How much did you end up paying?

Well I won the bidding at $1,300 then after processing fees and tax it was $1,500. But remember that was without those wheels and tires, it had stock wheels and tires on it when I bought it
