Guys, I would need your collaboration on this. I would like a side pic of your jeep on as much of a level ground as possible, and the lift measurement of the front, then the rear.

Preferably from the ground to bottom of the fender flares.

Actually, what I really want, is the difference between the front and rear lift, to help me decide if I add spacers or not to the rear.

Thank you much.

Is there a specific lift you want photos of? Do you also want the front and rear axle weights of the jeeps pictured so you can adjust the amount of lift difference compared to the weight of your jeep?

Dirtman is right on.

I have a lifted 2 dr with half doors no back seat and barely anything in the back. My 2.5" lift came out more like 3".

Put that same lift on a four door armored up with steel all around and some gear, you got maybe 2".

Weight is crucial to overall lift gain. Not the advertised amount or perceived gains in height.

You planning on running bumpers, winch, sliders, skids, etc?

Actually, what I want is pictures of jeeps with the info on the difference of the front compared to the rear lift.

Reason is that I like a rake, but not as much as the stock one. By looking at a picture, I can see if the rake is to my liking, and the info on the rear lift compared to the front, gives me an idea of want I want to do with mine.

Also, you guys that level a jeep with a soft or no top, what do you do once the cold season rolls around and you put your hard top on and suddenly end up with a reverse rake, that in my opinion looks much worse than the stock front rake???? Do you compensate with a rear coil spacer??? Or do you live with it like that???

So please, side pic, and difference between the front and rear lift. Either measured from the ground to the fender, or the tire to the fender.

The equipment is irrelevant, I want to know if the stance on the picture is the one I am going for.

The tops are not heavy, even the 4 door hard top only weights 100 pounds or so. Aka if the rear is an inch higher then the front with the top off, it will still be most of an inch higher with the top on if the top is the only change. As others mentioned the main weight factors will be fender/armor/bumpers that weigh more then stock.

My heavy 10A springs went down a full 1/2 inch when I switched from soft to hard top.

Maybe you should look at the JKS ACOS, it is adjustable and will give you any height you want within its range.

Ok, finally at work where I have a few pics, so here goes....

Tires are 285/70r17 and the 10A comes with a 1/2 inch lift from the factory.

The left pic, completely stock with no spacers and I unfortunately have no measurements.

The right pic , I have a one inch spacer in the front and 1/2 inch spacer in the rear. The rear is 1/2 higher than the front form ground to fender.

Nevermind guys, seems like asking for lift measurements is like asking a women her age or weight around here.

Not sure how to proceed, but this thread could be deleated.

Thanks.

Here is mine. Started as a 4" lift. Now it's about 3.5" after a few thousand miles and daily off road use. It is on 35x12.50-18's.
