Sounds like it is still at stock height. Any chance the ZJ you compared to was lowered?

 

Sorry for the delay, I don't spend much time on the computer on Mondays.

The distance from the center of the wheel to the bottom of the fender(not the fender well) is 17½".
All four tires are 245's(the spare was a 245 luckily). I believe thats the biggest tire that I can safely put on that hight. Pic will have to wait for tomorrow. Can I post a pic with my low post count, or should I link to another location?

I just spent a bunch of money(well for me) at Kevin's. Know any good muffle installation places near Newark NJ ?

 

Like mentioned, 18" is the stock measurement from wheel center to fender lip. UC is about an inch more.

Also, like mentioned, coil springs have a tendancy to sag over time so it is reasonable to assume that rigs with OE springs, with lots of miles over 10-15 years would measure at less than 18".

So everyone is right.

 

There is nothing to take to PM, I guess it was a misunderstanding.

aelfkins, so where are the pics? This mystery needs to be solved.

 

Ban? What? Did some Moderator mention that or did you guys just self-adjust?

Okay, post pics of this beast and we'll be able to help you.

I recently bought a 1997 Grand Cherokee Lorado, 4.0L. Which I though was totally stock. Till a couple of weeks ago when I discovered it had 245/75/15 tires(Well 3 245/75/15's and one 225/75/15. Which would account for why I thought i had a bad CV while in 4 Hi).

Different sized tires can be very hard on your transfer case, especially when there's that much difference. They should all be the same size and amount of wear.

 

My 93 was 18" . my buddies 97 was 18" until we put the UC springs in , and my other friends was 18" as well . Fine , let me rephrase it for you , stock settings from the factory w/o modification for non-upcountry springs should read 18" hub to fender .

I have yet to see different on a stock jeep

 

Don't get butt hurt, I was just referring to the fact that depending on the age of the springs, how hard the springs have been used; the stock height could vary. Yes from the factory, it is 18", chill, I was just stating that is why I said around 17" becasue I couldn't rememeber exactly when I originally posted. Before my first lift, I was at 17.5" and I know that for a fact, but I also had 160k on the original springs.

To the OP, like Rock said, post up some pics and we can tell you if it is lifted or not.

 

Look at the suspension...

 

The Grand Cherokee designation for the years 1993-1998 is a ZJ, not a JZ. The aspect ratio difference in the tires can cause a bunch of problems so get that taken care of asap if you havent already. Post up a picture and we will be able to tell you right away if its stock or not. It could very well be lifted but without seeing it I dont think we can safely say yay or nay. Browse around the site and compare your rig to others if you want

stock is accually 18" wheel hub center to fender .

 

Thats why I said "around". There was thread a while back on here or MC that asked people to post up their stock height, and it was a wide range, anywhere from 16 to 19 if I recall.

 

I had 30x9.50 r15 on my stock (and sagging) suspension. When you say you were 4" higher than the other ZJ, where were you measuring from? Best bet is to do top of fender to top of fender. Measure from the bottom of your fender to the center of the wheel cap. Stock is around 17 inches I believe.
