Re: Identifying a lift
You STILL didn't give us the model designation or year.
Shackle lift: standard shackle is 5" center to center on the
bolts. More or a cross brace is modified.
Body lift: The bushings between the frame and the body are softer
rubber. An extra structural plastic piece inbetween the mount and
the rubber bushing is a mod. They come in 1", 2", and 3"
Spring lift: stock YJ springs are almost straight, stock CJ
springs have about an inch or two of arch. More is a replacement
unit. On a YJ, look at the front axle, the distance between the
top of the axle and the bottom of the rubber bumper mounted on
the frame is 1" to 2" on a stock vehicle.
