Default Sagging rear leafs

Hi, first time poster long time XJer. Had an 88 from new till 06. Got the bug again and bought a 97. Leafs are flat in the back and I’m told it’s a 4” lift. I’d like to know if someone with a 4 inch lift could tell me the distance both front and back wheel from the middle of the wheel to the bottom of stock flare. (The 97 has 17inch wheels and 265/70/17) so that’s why I need center wheel to bottom of flare

As suggested, measure. But that does not look like a 4" lift to me

Thanks front measures 21.5” Yes the 17 inch rims and 265/ tires make the height look smaller in the picture.
