Re: Checking spring sag
 

You may figure it out by how long the stock shock absorbers are, and
dividing that travel by half for the space between the axle and the bump
stop, centering the axle. Like the stock shock for the front of your '95 XJ
is Monroe 37083 from: http://www.monroe.com/catalog_lookup/ocl_default.asp
And that travel is 7.875" via:
http://www.----------.com/ShockAbsor...sionCharts.pdf for about four
inches between the axle and bump stop for original stock ride height.

Thanks. Now I have two ways to check it out.

OK..it's a PITA to measure to the fender flare :/
What I COULD measure easily was the length of the shock: 16.5 inches
from the top of the upper tube to the lower mounting bracket.
I *think* it's close to the axle/fender dimension...?

Also, Bill stated there should be 4" between the bumpstop and the
axle. I have about TWO inches between the bottom of the bumpstop and
the plate it is designed to hit.

So, if any of this is anywhere close to an accurate representation of
the current ride height for my vehicle, it's sagging upwards of 2",
but my 29" tires have enough fender clearance. I might be happy enough
with a 2" lift, assuming they sell 2" lifts with completely new
springs, and not just the spacers I frequently read about...?

Thanks again for your feedback.
