Are there specs somewhere online that you can use to determine how much lift you have? Like a frame to axle base measurement that you can compare with, or ground to fender flare, or some such?

I have a heavy winch and bumper on a teraflex 2.5" coil lift with added .5" spacers and I'll be damned if I can figure out how much lift I have. The reason I want to know is a lot of aftermarket accessories are specified for 3" and up lifts, or under 3" lift. Plus when figuring out bumpstopping, swaybar linkages, and shock lengths this would be good to know.

 

Lots of ways to measure. Most are dependent on taking measurements before and after lifting. On mine I measured the bottom of the fender flare on each corner through the axle centerline. If you didn't measure before, then no you aren't going to know for sure what you have.

 

Park next to a stock one mirror to mirror and measure the height difference

 

I guess I should clarify, what I am looking for is a way to know without comparing to old measurements.

AEV has a front axle spring perch to frame measurement scale to determine some settings on their lift. If front spring perch to frame bottom is 7-8" then they say you have about a 3.5" lift and adjust accordingly. If its 8-9" then you set up their suspension as a 4.5" lift.

I'm looking for some baseline measurements like that, something constant accross models to determine lift heights. Without a baseline I feel like I'm crapshooting with add ons...

 

Find a stocker that matches yours as far how yours came with wheels/tires and start comparing measurements.

 

You may be able to call your lift manufacturer and ask them to help you determine how tall your lift is. They may have some measurements for you to compare to.

 

Well my lift manufacturer just posted above you, lol!

Hey Teraflex,

Can you give me some idea of what lift height I would have up front with your 2.5" coil lift, your .5" spacers, and 150lbs of accessories (bumper, winch, disco skid) on my front end?

How about in the back, all stock weight with your 2.5 coils and your .5" spacers with factory Isolators?

My jeep is a 2011 JKU Rubi.

 

How about this, does anyone know how much space there is between upper and lower bumpstops on an unlimited? Or unlimited Rubicon?

 

The 2.5" coil kit lifts the front 3.1" and the rear 2.1" on a stock JK.

 

Thanks! Is that for an unlimited or a 2 door?
