I work at a shop so I'm gonna put it on a lift and raise it with no sway bar that is extended all the way or should I just lift the opposite tire ?

 

lift one tire and measure extended and collapsed, then do the other axle same way

 

you don't need an RTI ramp. it's nice to have one, but you can just measure your current ride height and guess your collapse length if you're a hot shot. or take your shock off and get the exact collapse length. then just order a bilstein with that same collapse length and make sure it's the longest one available. then limit strap it.

or if you've got a lift you can do it that way too. just don't want anyone to read this thread and think "**** how am I ever gonna figure this out theres nothing nearby to flex on"

 

so i got the specs on the shocks i have fully extended they are 25.8 and collapsed 15.3 i was looking at the 5125 i would need limiting straps to run those correct and even then it would be pushing my suspension correct

i would like to know what others are running at this lift height im at 6.5 on 33 nitto trail grappler

 

I am running those measurements on a 2.5" lift, short arm cherokee. May want to re figure?

 

Hey you're not allowed to give that advice lmao

 

yeah i know..... to measure you dont exactly have to flex it, but thats what most people do so I go along with it. Otherwise you get people yelling at you.

 

im gonna put it on the lift and measure it that way i guess

 

I hate to make this difficult. But a lift is different than articulation. I have both, a ramp and a lift. On the front you will get more travel on a ramp then from a lift. On the rear shocks the exact opposite.

This is because of the inherent properties of both 4 link/trackbar, and leaf springs.

But i guess you can still use the lift for the rear then just add a couple inches for the front measurement.
