Measurements

Can I get measurements from fender to ground, and fender to top of tire on TJ with a 3” lift on 33s? I supposedly have a 3” lift (spring spacer) which was installed by a dealer in 06 - everything else is factory… trying to see just how much sag I have and how shot my shit really is. Plan is to pull and replace with 3” springs and some rancho shocks… and I’m loosing the 33s - and going to down to 31s or 32ish tires - 10.5 or 11.5…. Thanks!

That's not the best way to measure lift.

Measure your springs, including the added spacers. Fronts are 12", rears are 8" (stock). Anything longer than that is lift.

I’m looking for measurements as it sits… to see if I do have sag - and to get the approximate difference with a true a 3” spring lift… I did take those measurements- but a comparison would be helpful. If It is way off… then I know to expect some extra adjustments and parts sooner rather than later. If there’s a better to figure this out - I am all ears - my last jeep I worked on was an 05 - but it was back in 2006 or 2007… so I don’t remember a whole lot

@OldBuzzard's method will tell you everything you need to know (as it sits). If the front measures 14" with the spacers, it's sagging 1". If it measures 15", it's not sagging.

Ahhhh - ok - I see what you’re saying - I mis understood - appreciate it!

With my jeep measuring 13” including the 3” spacers…. I have a decent sag…. Is this common? And any thoughts why?
