So when I got my XJ a year and a half ago, I knew it had some sort of lift on it, the guy I got it from said he thought 2" but he was kinda hazy on it. I'm looking to replace the rear leafs and want to go for a direct replacement. The shocks are still good and the front springs are still good too, but I have no idea how much higher up than stock I am.

What are the stock measurements for clearance? Whats the stock distance from the top of the tire to the fender flare? Pic for reference:

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or specs.

Stock measurements are 17.5" in the front and 17" in the rear. Measure from the center of the wheel to the bottom of the fender.

what lift

I can assure you, I thought the same thing when I bought it. Park next to other 97-01 XJs and its clearly taller in the front and rear. So I'm trying to figure out if its lifted or if everyone else has just never replaced sagging suspension.

ha! it blocks out the *** in AS$URE. I thought you were calling me names. maybe go check the front coils for spacers and the rear for an extra leaf in there?

1.5-2" get new stock heavy duty springs and a 3/4" shackle

Measured and got 19" front and 18" rear. Looks like HD springs and a new shackle it is. Wish I could devote more to building it now but I'd only be kidding myself thinking I'd have time to play with it.

Sigh, someday.
