I have a RC 4.5 kit and 31" tires but doesn't look as big as other xj's I see. What should the measurement be from hub to wheel well?

Springs will be different from company to company. Some will be stiffer than others. I have no experience with RC myself but maybe the springs aren't as stiff as other companies and won't sit as high

The front,from wheel center to bottom of flare,is 17.5 & the rear is 17.

Can someone do me a favor & measure from the bottom of the flare to the body line, below the door handle,on the front & rear?

My flares are long gone & my fenders are cut.I'm just wondering how much lift I have.

Thanks.

Theres supposed to be a way to measure from the top of the axle tube, but I don't know it.

If you're missing the stock flares measure from the top of the axle tube to the bottom of the frame rail directly above the axle tube.

front stock is 6.75"
rear stock is 6"

Anything more than that is lift.
