Determining Existing Lift Size
This might be tough....
I bought my jeep (2007 JK) with an existing lift. First jeep for me so I learned the hard way. It was sold to me by a dealer who claimed it had a 3.5" lift. Over time, examining all of the parts and such, I found out it is a Skyjacker brand (yeh, I know). Anyway, I'm seriously due new shocks and need to match them to the lift height. I've tried to verify the lift height for a while and have found conflicting signs. For instance, the bump stops have a label showing 2". The springs have markings that say 2.5". I've asked a few jeep guys I'm friends with and they tell me "You've got at least a 3" lift".
Is there a almost fool proof method to determine how much lift I currently have?
Thanks
