I measured it in the front and its 12 inches from the axle to the unibody. What is it supposed to be stock?

So it looks like a stock Cherokee is 6 3/4" from axle to unibody. How is mine measuring 12" then? I might believe that it has 4" of lift but not 5". Just to clarify, I'm not sure it is a zone lift. The only reason I thought this is because zone bushings fit it and the LCA kind of looks like zone. Every thing was bed lined when I got it so there is no identification on it.

Looking on the Zone site, the only lifts they offer for the XJ that have new LCAs are 4.5". I guess if mine is a Zone, its 4.5.

4"-4.5" For sure. For comparison, this is mine, Zone which sits at 4" in the rear, 4 3/8" in the front, 31's. Not the best pic (angle wise) but it was the closest I could find.

This is 4" front 4.5" rear with 31s. My stock flaires have been raised in front.
