Measure from the top of ur front axel tube to the unibody rail above it. Stock is 6 inches so if its 3 inches it should be about 9 inches.

that could be as much as 3.5 or 4. My 3 inch lift on 31s has nowhere near that much space in the fenderwells.

I'd say a 3" Zone lift since that's what it says in your Signature info.

^^^Lol. Yeah, that's what the guy I bought it from said, but in seeing other cherokees on 3" lifts I though mine looked a bit bigger. Maybe 3.5 or something. Just wanted to get some opinions.

Well in that case since its a Zone off road lift kit, I looked on there Web site and and they only sell a 2" Budget lift, a 3" lift with add-a-leafs, a 3" lift with full leaf packs, a 4.5" lift with add-a-leafs, and finally a 4.5" lift with full leaf packs.

So more than likely yours is either 3" of 4.5".

By the look of the pic's you posted with non trimmed fenders running stock fender flares. They clear those 31's pretty well, My guess would be there 4.5" lift.

I don't know how long the lift has been on. I'm the third owner since it was lifted I think. I'll have to measure it for sure tomorrow. Yeah it clears the 31"s beautifully. At full flex they have less than a quarter inch to the fender.
