Default how tall is this lift?

Just left the JY and they had this xj on the lot. Unfortunately, it was closing time and the bolts were hard as a rock; and I did not get to pull anything off of it yet. I am going back first thing in the morning with a can of pb blaster and a breaker bar. The shocks are skyjacker hydro 5000 series. What all should i pull of besides shackles, leafs, and coils? tires are 33s, but pretty rough....

Tons of good parts most likely. If you off road any it would be wise to snag the drive shafts and axles.

I'd guess at about 4.5 inch lift. Make sure you grab the control arms too. Maybe the front sway bar links too. Check if it has a SYE, might be able to score that too, or maybe a transfer case drop. You can measure the amount of lift it has by measuring from the centre of the hub to the bottom of the fender flare. Stock measurement is 17 inches I'm pretty sure

Measuring won't be too accurate since it's on blocks on the frame. The suspension is sagging. But if it's on 33s and there hasn't been any cutting it's probably over 4".

Looks like this XJ ended up in the JY before it's time was up.
