What size lift do I have
Just purchased an 82 CJ5 with 36X14.5 Super swampers. I plan to change out
the tires to 33X12.5 BFG Ko's and the suspension too. What I need to find
out is what is the current lift or where/how do I measure. I plan to only
have a 3 inch lift after all of this is completed.
Thanks for your time and help.

Hi Wade,
What I'd get rid of first is any spacers between the frame and
body.

Re: What size lift do I have
Hi Wade,
Does it have a Spring Over Axle (SOA) conversion? That would account for
5-6". You can measure body spacers and shackles, but beyond that its going
to be lift springs or SOA. OEM will be ~1/2" for spacers, and 2" for
shackles.

Re: What size lift do I have
Jim & Bill , thanks for your reply. I just checked my 79 CJ7 and found it
is a
spring under and the new 82 CJ5 is like you said, spring over the axles.
OK, now where do I go from here? Can I use the same spring setup or do I
need to get new springs? Is the procedure to just reverse the location to
spring under?
Thanks again for your reply and help.
