My '84 is 11" from the top of the axle to the top of the frame measured behind the rear wheel and has stock springs.
The first measurement will vary with your tire size.. 6 inch lift on stock tires would have the same measurement from the ground to center of hub. stuffing oversized tires on stock lift with no room to flex will give you a higher number because of the added circumfrence. My question is why dont you measure from the top of the hub to the bottom of the fender, obviously that wont work if you have cut fenders but they are easy enough to spot, I just want to make sure im measuring to the right area and straight up and down will be the most accurate in any case when measuring lift. I am told my jeep has a 4 inch lift with shackle flip and Spring over axle conversion. I know its on 35s What does it look like to you guys?https://scontent-a-sea.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash2/t31.0-8/412320_364890276873856_938865702_o.jpg
Hi,Hey gang!!
Hope to satisfy my curiosity on something and need a little help to do it.
Here is the information.
who: anybody that knows or think they know what amount of suspension lift they have, including those with no lift at all.
what: Two dimensions, setting on reasonably flat level ground.
1) measure the distance from the center of the wheel hub to the ground.
2) This is the hard one, measure from the top of the body mount drivers side front. that is the one near the drivers feet. Measure from the top of the mount not the top of the pad or the bottom of the body.
Why: This is one of the top 10 most popular questions, "how much lift do I have". With enough information it should be possible to establish a relevant base line for "stock".
If you want to throw in your tire size and an evaluation of if you think you have suitable lift, as long as your typing and have a tape measure in your hand and all.
