Since you have the flares still you can get an accurate reading on it. Measure from the center of the wheel to the bottom of the flares. Stock heights are Front: 17.5" Rear: 17"s

Wait...it was your jeep? And now it's not? Why does it matter then?

Also, you didn't know what size lift was on your jeep?

Forgive me for being critical, it just doesn't seem like it should matter. IT'S GONE

Okay.

Are you starting from scratch?

What kind of wheeling do you do, and how much, if any?

Ask yourself what you want it to do, and build it from there.
