    Hello All,

    I recently bought a Jeep and it appears to have a lift on it, I'm not sure of how much of a lift it has. I was wondering if someone could measure their stock CJ5 to the bottom of the frame in the center and give me a measurement, I would be very much appreciative, Thank you for your time,

    I think my body is different height than stock, I think frame to ground measurement will be pretty safe, include tire size. Thanks,
    Mike

    Which jeep is this on? You're sig still says 1971. I've got a '69 that looks to have stock springs. Would that help?

    I just measured the height from the top of my front axle to the bottom of the frame, note it is a Dana 27 front axle. It measures 8 1/2" inches. Hope this helps in determining if I have a lift. Thanks guys,
    Mike
