Default lift amount ?

my track bar is wasted, end is wore out at the ball joint but cant get the ball joint to come out.....figured I would go back with an adjustable. Problem is, don't know how much lift is on this thing and new track bars come set for various lifts.

Pictures would greatly help here of the vehicle so we can determine the height.

Looks like a budget boost of some kind to me, maybe 2.5"? Can you see spacers, or do the springs seem aftermarket?

That's more than 2.5 inches of lift. That's like 4.5 or 5 inch

Really? Maybe the tire size is throwing off my perspective. My WJ doesn't look much lower than that on a 2" BB and 31" tires.

It does indeed, but just a bit. What size are your tires, and how much space do you have between the tire and fender? That may help us figure out the lift lol

My fenders are cut so that wouldn't help. And my tires are 32s

I agree, its also got control arm drop brackets which I cant see being used at 2.5 inch of lift. Id look into the Iron Rock Offroad double shear setup for the trac bar.

Right, but could help with a sense of perspective.

My tires are an inch bigger than his and my lift is a few years old so its gotta be sagging

So he likely has around a 5" lift, taking the tire size into account.
