How do you tell if my TJ is lifted?

How do I know what size lift is on my Jeep TJ?

You’ll see that the spring should measure 9 3/8″ from top to bottom. This measurement is taken while the vehicle is on the ground. Measure your spring, and anything over the 9 3/8″ will be how much lift you have. For instance, if you measure your front spring and you come up with 13 3/8″, that means you have a 4″ lift.

How do you measure a Jeep TJ Lift?

Mine has a hocky puck looking rubber mount on top of the spring. Measure the spring first, then see what it says on the chart above. Then measure the coil spring spacer (which is what that puck is). If it turns out the spring equals a 2″ lift and that hockey puck is 1″, then you have a 3″ lift.
