Measuring lift??

[MidwayJeremy]

I'm sure this is a stupid question but....I recently went to HD engineering Offroad shackle relocation brackets on the rear of my XJ they say they add up to 1.75" lift I'm running 2" shackles and 4.5" leafs so with all that adds up to 7.75" but it looks way higher than that...I've look on ways to measure from axle tube to bottom of unibody if I go by that it says 11" of lift which can't be right! Just trying to figure out which springs to order.... Thanks

i messured from the middle of my axel to the bottom of the fender well. did you get the stock hight before the lift?
and it should settle when you drive it a few days

Well I'm running a 14 bolt in rear and fenders are cut right at top crease of flare.....who knows how tall the rear is.....lol Nothing Acos adjustable can't fix I want it around 6.5" but u have a feeling it's gunna be higher than that ......

Ditch the 2" shackles, and pull the third leaf from your spring pack.

The shackles have 1" hole and 2" hole.....third one down or up? Also is that gunna make it sag once broken in?
