    I am trying to figure out how much lift I have on my 75. Could somebody with an unlifted Intermediate CJ5 let me know the height from the bottom door sill/lip to the ground and the tire size you are running. Thanks

    Thats going to vary based on the make of tire, amount of air pressure, and spring sag. I'm guessing even with stock cj's of the same year with the same nominal tire size, that measurement could vary by as much as 3"

    I went out and measured my 75, I have s bone stock set up and running 31-10.50-15 tires. I have 22" from the lower body directly under the door/sill opening. I hope this helps.

    May not apply as mine is a 1974, however, my measurement is 20 & 3/4". I just replaced my springs with a stock replacement (no lift) and tire size is LT235 - 75R15 (as close to an OE tire as I could get, I think).

    It seems to me that a more accurate way to measure would be from the top of the leaf at the axles to the bottom of the frame.

    As a side note, beware of what is "stock" for an intermediate. During those days, the aftermarket wasn't what it is now, and it was not uncommon for dealerships to modify CJ's and sell them as stock.

    I only mention this because I ended having to buy two sets of springs for my "stock" '74 CJ-6, cuz I bought it from the original owner who said it was stock. Turns out it was modified by the dealership and was already sporting 2"-3" of lift.
