Stock height track bar Q

[kyleag89]

Quick question for you guys.. How much higher does the rear sit than the front in a stock 4x4 4.0 MJ? assuming there isn't too much leaf sag.

Going by the axle to frame measurements for a 4wd MJ of front: 7 3/4" rear: 9 1/4", I would say that the rear on a stock, good springed MJ is about 1 1/2" +/- 1/2" taller than the front.

 

Edit: Or just click the link Pete posted.

Thanks guys.

My 2.5 4x4 sat about 2-1/4" higher in the back. I put 1-3/4" spacers on the front and it looks almost level. It may be my imagination but it seems to track down the road better, really.

did you check your alignment before or after?

Will relocating the track bar like the link below(step 4) be a good idea for 2.5-2.75" lift?
