Default What do i have?

I have a 1993 2dr cherokee and the previous owner told me it was a 6.5 in. lift and it is currently on 35's; but i don't really trust his judgement because he didnt do any work and didnt know much about it. i was wondering, is there any way to tell exactly how much lift i have? also, what kind of lift? three of the shocks are all black and the drivers side rear one is a skyjacker hydro 7000. it has a drop pitman arm and an adjustable track bar with a heim joint at the top. also, it has adjustable upper control arms.

i need to do my track bar bushing and was wondering what lift it came from to see if i need to get a special bushing. and i pretty much would just like to know. furthermore, the spot where the bottom of the shock mounts to the rear axle has a bushing and that seems to be toast. can i purchase these bushings anywhere?

also, if it is a skyjacker hydro 7000, is that bad? i hear alot of guys bashing skyjacker so i was just wondering. if it is bad, what should i do when i have the money in the future?

Unless its marked with a company name, it's pretty hard to tell.. You can post pics if ya want... As for lift height question, that we can pin point. Measure from the top of axle tube, to bottom of frame rail. Stock is 6" in rear and 6.75" in the front. Anything over that is lift. If you've got a stock track bar, scrap it and get an aftermarket one. Bushings can be replaced. Check Quadratec or rockauto.com. Skyjacker isn't known for its high quality.. Shocks go dead quick, springs/leafs aren't anything special..

Look for a part number on any of the springs.
