Things don't add up....
I am hoping someone can give some help here.... I have an 89 Xj that i have been working on the lift, I got some Rusty's front spring of CL here in my town but weren't sure if they were 6.5 or 8.5 inch springs... when i called Rusty's according to how they measure they said they were 6.5. Now i have them in my jeep along with 2 inch spacer's and if I measure from the axle tube to the frame rail it tells me i have 11 inch lift.... here is a pic.... my tires are 33" Toyo M/T's
