    Hey guys,

    As some may know, I'm looking at a new suspension setup. Right now I have 5.5 inches between the frame and axle in front, and 7.5 inches in the back. Does this sound about right for a stock height suspension???


    Thanks,

    That would be great. That is one of the lifts I'm looking at. How's the ride with that one??? You have the same year as I do. Do you have any pics??? Did you have to do anything else like axle shims or CV driveshaft??? These are a couple of concerns I have with putting a lift on.

    Thanks a bunch,

    high5, was out working on the jeep and remembered about your measurements. my measurements are from frame to top of spring pack. Front is 7.5 inches, rear is 9 inches. I have a 5 leaf spring pack front and rear and the motor is a 304. Don't know how much differance this will make.
