Lift: Synergy Stage 4 W/12" travel Fox Coil Overs
Belly: 21"
Tires: 41.5" Pitbulls

 

id help but i dont know what lift height I have in the back... Where ya measuring from for more consistent measurements? Im curious: on this as well!!:gluging:

 

Maybe we should put in a point of reference? Mine's 100 miles away right now, so I can't just go look for a good spot. Want to define one?

Should be fun to figure this out... I am pretty sure I am in Draken territory.

 

Frame rail down then minus 2.75" for gas tank and skid that usually lines up with the other skids as far as lowest point unless you've removed your tank.

Mine on 37s 4" lift was 16.5 from tank skid to ground 19.25" from ground to rail.

This is part of the reason I went 2 door and gonna stretch.

 

Damn it man... I am drunk and can't do math. 37s, skids, ouch... lol.

 

Sounds good gas tank skid it is.

Looks like from your numbers you should be around 8"-9" of lift.
I am running 40" mtr's with a belly height of 19.75" at the cross member which has been raised by 3/4" running 4" of lift on my coil overs.

Nice... if this turns out to be the case, I might be able to return Draken to full grace with their eight inch kit... then again, mine may just be the ultimate roller coaster?

Instead of belly, use frame rail height. That's a consistent point on all JK's, assuming the frame hasn't been drastically modified. Frame rail height w/ X" tires is my personal favorite for comparing the height of two rigs. "Lift height" is wishy washy and kind of pointless.

Great idea... frame rail height at the tranny crossmember should be a good reference point.

Using this as a reference, mine is going to be an additional three inches taller!?!? That can't be right... my JK is pretty big, but not that big. 11-12" of lift?

I typically use the measurement of the distance between the center of the axle to the bottom of the frame rail above it to measure the true amount of lift.

Some will also use the distance between shock mounts, although that will only work on stock components.

Hmm... unfortunately for me, I fall prey to the second problem on the first suggestion. I like that as a measure point though... just will not work for me. I'd guess any stretch might make this a variable as well?

abendx,

What is the height of a stock JK frame rail and what is the true height of the tire? What is your height and what is the true height of the tire?

For example, a stock TJ on true 28" tires sits 14" at the frame rail. Mine on true 36.5" tires sits 19.5" at the frame rail.

36.5-28 = 8.5
8.5/2 = 4.25" height from the tires alone.
19.5-14 = 5.5"
5.5-4.25 = +1.25" between the frame and axles (springs)

What are you doing wrong?

 

I'm on 41.5" Pitbull Rockers and I have 25.5" to the frame rail.

 

41" tires

23.50" at the frame rail

21.25" at the gas tank skid.

 

40" Tires
Teraflex 4" springs
1" spacer in the back

23.5" at the frame rail
21" at the gas tank skid

 

I posted this one in the wrong thread earlier. Oops.

43" rubber
20" Wheels
22" gas tank skid to ground.
3" or so TnT lift with remnants of EVO DTD and lever.
122ish" wheelbase

(I had a JKU enclosed hauler built hence the measurements)

 

My frame rail is 21 3/4 , running 41.5 PBR and 3.5 to 4" of lift.... Hope it helps. When I was on 37's and 3.25 RC lift my frame rail was at 17"

 

Thanks guys.
