Default Determine amount of actual lift.

Is there a set height for stock jks coil spring length axle to perch? I added bumpers and my front looks a little lower. Like how tall should a 3.5 spring sit while jeeps on the ground? I know the rubicon vs sport to 2 and. 4 door matters but there has to be stock numbers! Help?

That's awesome! That should go to the stickies. I see a related question to that at least once a week.

Now, the $60k question: do you have the same spec for the rear?!?!

negative, but you can assume if your jeep is sitting level you got a good 1/2-1" more in the rear (depending on weights of course)
