Google told me this:

Front Drivers Side: Stock vertical distance between axle tube to frame should be 17 cm (6 3/4") plus or minus 13 mm (1/2")
Front Passenger Side: Same as driver side, make sure to take measurement from the top of the axle tube
Rear: Stock Vertical Distance Between the top of the axle tube and the underside of the frame on the inside of the bump stop should be 15 cm (6") plus or minus 13 mm (1/2").

Its 17.5" from center hub to bottom of the fender flare in the front, 17" in back. So for instance, my jeep is at 24" in front and 24.5" in back that means I have 7.5" of lift front and back... Catch my drift?

I measured it is 22.5 inches. does that mean 5in lift? It doesn't look that large at all. I accidently ordered 3in, lift shocks
