Really? That low? I really dont want the tire to fall off the bead and a buddy of mine has 15x8 rims and he runs like 15 psi and he occasionally loses the bead.

How can you say that? You don't even have a clue the style tires they are. Anything between 7-20PSI has a chance of being good depends on the tires, vehicle and rims.

I hear 14 as a generic number on some sites, but I run my little P235/75R15s at 32psi after topping them for the road, and at whatever they've leaked out to by the time I see something worth driving over.

Default straightening out a home made lift

Ok, so here's the deal. Just got my first Jeep, and its an 89 Cherokee with some kind of homemade lift kit. Crazy thing is, it works! However, I would prefer to get some proper equipment under it. The shocks have had extensions welded to them... There are custom rods between the axle and the sway bar... And the control arms were fabbed up with incomplete welds. How do I determine the amount of lift it has? I really like the lift it has; not too high, or low, perfect for what I do, and the dogs and girlfriend can get in and out nicely. Hope the photos help describe my situation. Any help would be appreciated.
