here is how you can tell lift heigh, compare it to stock specs.

you just measure from the bottom of the frame rail to the top of the axle tube

Checking Front Ride Height

Measure front ride height with the vehicle unloaded (no luggage or passengers) and with the fuel tank full.

Place the vehicle on a level surface and measure the veryical distance between the top of the axle tube (A) and the underside of the frame sill (B). Refer to Figure 1 for driver's side measurement and Figure 2 for passenger side measurement. Be sure each measurement is taken from the top of the tube and not from the axle or shift motor housings.

With Standard or Soft Ride Suspension, vertical distance should be 17 cm (6-3/4 inches) plus or minus 13 mm (1/2 inch). With Heavy Duty Suspension, vertical distance should be 20 cm (7-3/4 inches) plus or minus 13 mm (1/2 inch).

Checking Rear Ride Height

Measure rear ride height with the vehicle unloaded (no luggage or passengers) and with the fuel tank full.

Place the vehicle on a level surface and measure the vertical distance between the top of the axle tube (C) and the underside of the frame sill (D) inboard of the jounce bumper (E).

With Standard or Soft Ride Suspension, vertical distance should be 15 cm (6 inches) plus or minus 13 mm (1/2 inch). With Heavy Duty Suspension, vertical distance should be 18 cm (7 inches) plus or minus 13 mm (1/2 inch).

Nice lookin XJ..

I would guess the lift is a Rubicon Express... since there appears to be a stick that at least says Rubicon on the back bumper..

Just a guess..

Hey thanks for the positive feedback. As far as the price, well let's just say, they didn't get what they were asking for it.

Here are some pics of the front suspension -there's not much to the rear, just a leaf pack and a spacer:





It drives like poo right now. I'm scared to do over 45mph in it. So tomorrow, it's headed to an alignment shop that is familiar with lifted vehicles. It needs a lot of love, but what fun would it be if it were already perfect?

Someone asked about the tire size, it's on 35/12.5/15 Mickey Thomson Baja Claws.
