Default New Jeep - Unknown Parts

I just bought a 93 XJ and it has a skyjacker lift, with 31" tires they fit nice so i am assuming a 2 or 3 inch lift. is there any way i can figure it out?

I assume I am having a little bump steer issue - but no death wobble. the steering wheel will rotate about 5-10 degrees with no tire/steering response. when i make a hard turn at highway speeds it wants to slip a little then reacts. is this common? and should i look at the pitman arm to solve it?

thanks, btw First Post wahoo!

Nice jeep.
You can measure from the wheel center to the fender flares to get an Idea of lift, I have to find the numbers.

Top of the rear axle tube to the frame rail 6in stock
Top of the front axle tube to frame rail 6.75in
Everything over that is your actual lift.

Your symptoms dont sound like bumpsteer.
