Pics finally! 2 1/2" or 4" lift?

Anyone's opinion on what lift I have?
For reference it has 15x8" rims with 31" BFG mudders.
Thanks!
Really would like to find out...

Gotta be 4" or more, IMHO.

 

3"? Looks like a 33" would be perfect

 

Gotta be 3inches if not more. If your rig is really light that can be a factor. Same goes for being heavy.

 

I agree with the above. My 70 CJ has 2.5" BDS springs & 31" tires, and yours looks an inch or two higher.

 

This is a 2 1/2" lift with 32x11.50X15's. Springs from Skyjacker.

 

Thanks guys.
I want it to sit just a bit nose high , so maybe I'll replace the rear leafs with new 2 1/2" springs. That, combined with old saggy 4" springs in front might b perfect!
Also, if PO put the 4" lift on, would he have needed to lengthen either axle?
Thanks.

 

Do you mean driveshaft(s)?

 

Whoops. Yes, "driveshafts"

 

PeteL, the reason I asked:

i grew up in rear wheel drive Hotrod family, transfer cases new to me .

second, PO did mention one time when he was off roading the front axle almost came thru floorboard. Then I saw this under my jeep (see pic). If the transfer case rises 4" (with a lift) and axle stays in the same place, wouldn't the driveshaft now become shorter? Maybe causing his incident? Maybe he was unaware and driveshaft shop made it longer to prevent it from happening again.

then, if I go back to a smaller lift do I have to worry about the opposite...driveshaft now too long?

I'm not an expert on this, but you have the right thoughts about the geometry. All depends how much stroke (travel) you have in the slip-joint splines, in your set-up, at the limits of suspension travel.

One way is just to measure stuff in the driveway, and eyeball the wear patterns. Or maybe give Tom Woods a call. http://www.4xshaft.com/
