Default Stock height measurement

Hey all,

I was staring at my jeep in the parking lot today and noticed that the front is definitely lower than the rear.

Is there something I can measure to figure out how much lift I have in the rear?

I put a 2in spacer in the front, so I know what the front is at, but what about the rear? I put an aal in so I have no idea where it's at..

I remember reading somewhere that you can measure from the center of the wheel to the fender, but I don't remember the number...

Ultimately, I want to pick up some 3in coils and do a Dakota bastard pack because with the current stance it just looks stupid...

Might be slightly different for older '96- models due to the flares being different.

It's not enough of a difference between the flares to matter much.
