Stock ride height

[Knucklehead97]

I'm sure this is somewhere already, but... I couldn't find it in 30 minutes of searching. What is the stock ride height measured from bottom of fender flare to the middle of the hub? I finally got my GS MT 3+2 springs with an extra inch of arch installed (the ones from the group buy) and I forgot to measure before i installed them. My other MJ has too much crap in the bed to get a good measure on rear suspension. But i did compare the front suspension height and my 2wd with 1.75" coil spacer (the one that I installed the MT springs in) is the exact same height as my 4wd MJ stock. Thursday I'm installing my Krustyballer hitch and reinstalling my FEY step bumper. Then i will be throwing over 1000 pounds of concrete blocks in the bed to settle the springs. I also need to get an extended rear brake line, mine is maxed out with these springs.

It also has Ford rear shackles, but those don't add or remove any height. For anyone wondering, it takes 3 washers on each side of the leaf spring to fill the gap that the explorer shackles have due to the Explorer springs being wider.

there should be factory measurements in the link in my sig.

Front should be 17-1/2", same as the XJ. I don't think there has ever been a definitive measurement taken for the rear using the hub-to-flare method, but my informal measurements suggest that it should be somewhere around 21-1/2".

Sadly it's only got the axle to frame measurements. I'll probably end up measuring Thursday when I'm offwork, unless someone chimes in with definitive flare-hub measurements

I'm hoping that's what stock is. With these springs I've got 24.5" flare-hub so after the springs settle I expect 23.5". I'm going to have to bring the front up a good bit for sure.
