Cherokee Actual Lift Height
 

hey guys, recently installed a rough country 3 inch AAL lift on my xj. The lift is a few months old and I noticed my front end was lower then the rear by a considerable amount. I understand the rear AAL is going to sag some but as of about 2 months old, it hasnt moved yet. The other day I decided I can't go to the Bantam Jeep Festival with a dragster rake. I decided to go up to 4.5 inches of lift so I threw in a coil spacer at 1.5 inches and set it down. How can I measure to see how low the rear is now. From bottom of the rocker panel to ground is only about 1/4 inch difference but the space between the tire and fender is more like 1 1/2 inches. Where can I measure to too be accurate? Thanks

Thank you very much, I think I netted about 4 1/2 inches up front and about 3 out back. The body of the jeep is level (actually 1/2 higher in rear) according to rocker panels, but tire to flare height is more like 1 1/2 inch difference. My suspension thus far consists of 3" coils and 1.5" spacers, and a 3" rear AAL. Going to address the rear end shortly but it seems like if I get the fender to tire space equal, I'm going to be right back at the unlevel nosed down body.

The fender to tire height spacing is not the same on the front and back.

i kinda figured that wouldnt work up to the flares
