Stock 2" lift from factory?
hello everyone,
I own a 2001 Cherokee Limited with stock 16" rims and 225/75/16's. I happened to notice that the Jeep sits a tad higher than most other ones I park next to including my girlfriends '98 Classic that stock. So the other day I did some measuring and scoping around under the jeep. I have pucks up top that look like daystar or what-have-you polyurathane coil spacers. I have about 2" more up front that my GF's and about a 1.5" out back higher than my GF's. Any insight, I heard that the '01's came with a factory lift but havn't heard anything rock solid yet. my rear seams to be sagging but I don't want to put anything back there cause I don't want to raise it more, just level. And since im writing this what is the tallest tire i can put on with out rubbing or very slight rubbing with about 2"? I plan on getting some 16" moabs and ATZ pluses again (best tire ever!).
Any help is appreciated.

Ok I picked up some V8 thunder bird springs for my bastard pack lift I am working on. So the springs are a lot thicker than stock. At the base they are hanging up and I cant get them in at all. can I put a j hook through the hole where the stock spring retainer is or do you think its not safe. The base of the spring is pretty much equally distributed. Only fear I have is could they pop off when flexing? But I bought some of these J bolts and I just not sure if they will hold it in place. I was going to drill a hole at the base and put two J hooks, one I could use the hole from the stock retainer. Do you guys think this is safe?
Or just grind a bit more... (from the jeep - not the spring)
