How to determine lift??
I am guessing these are the tereflex parts
front is lifted, but unsure about rear.
You can tell by looking there are a few inches added but I have no idea.
Recently purchased a 93 xj i6 4.0 5sp. How do i determine lift and suspension specs? It came with Teraflex stickers on the side I can tell there are new shocks and springs on the front end. not sure about the rear. How do I reduce the sag in the rear?

How do i determine lift and suspension specs?
measure between hub centre to flare OR top of axles to frame rail, OR (total height of vehicle, make adjust for tyre height)
specs for these are on this forum.
(at least some) Sports models have a 1" lift spring as standard

Top of the axle tube to the Frame rail should be 6.75" in the front and 6" in the rear Only time you can use the hub to flare measurement is if you are running stock flares. tire size has no play in Suspension lift, only ground clearance.

ie Measure the height of the vehicles vs standard spec. Subtract OEM tyre radius from current radius. Suspension lift can then be calculated.
We agree the axle to frame is best
Around here, legal requirements measure total lift of vehicle, so tyre size is very relevant

Lol waaay to complicated guys. It's a Rough Country 3" lift with AAL in rear. Look at the control arm angle. And tires size does not affect in any way the suspension lift height of the vehicle. It might affect the total lift height. But anyways I'd says he's running a 31" tall tire and a 3" lift. It's figured out. Educated guess.

O and OP states the rear is sagged. Common with an AAL. Usually a full spring pack will give more than desired lift. Also, judging by the condition of the paint on coils and shocks I'd say the kit is fairly new. RC doesn't use the best quality paint.

I concur on it probably being a Rough Country, but they also do the 3" block in the back on some lift kits.
It also could be a RE set of springs? They use that silver color on the springs?
That's what came on my jeep. Three inch lift springs, and three inch blocks in the back. It also has their LCA's called easyrider's, and a trackbar relocation bracket.
This is the part number of the front springs in the rough country lift. XJ3F-CL01
