Identifying a lift
 
This may sound dumb but... how do I identify what kind of lift is on my
jeep? She's up 3-4 inches. Which parts do I look at to see what kind of
lift is on? The body is not lifted at all (original bushings).
Thanks.

It can be difficult to tell. Sometimes the color is an indication: red -
skyjacker, grey - rubicon, yellow - superlift...
What is it TJ, YJ, CJ or what?

Re: Identifying a lift
 
I wasn't real clear... How do I tell if I have a shackle lift versus a body
lift versus a ?? lift. What parts are added/mod'd to make a lift?

Re: Identifying a lift
 
Oh... well that's totally different. Again you have not identified your
vehicle.

In basic terms:

A body lift consists of longer body mount bushings.

A shackle lift (YJ or CJ) consists of extended length shackles, stock length
is about 3" bolt center to center.

A suspension lift consists over arched leaf springs (YJ or CJ), spring over
axle (SOA) conversion (YJ or CJ) or extended coil springs track bars, and
control arms (TJ)

Several other items not mentioned are involved in all lifts.
