I have heard that it is 2.5" and 3.25". I never measured my jeep, but now I am curious how much it usually is. |

Well, if your KJ was built prior to April '02 it sits a little over 3/4" higher than models built afterwards and the franken-lift will give you roughly 2 1/2" of lift. If your KJ was built after that then the franken-lift will give you roughly 3 1/4" of lift. Make sense?

huh? Isn't the frankenlift a full spring/shock replacement lift? It shouldn't matter what factory height springs you have as you are replaceing them anyway right? With a new suspension 2.5" is 2.5" whether it's an 02 or an 04. Or so I thought anyway.

The stock suspension height is different from the 02-04. Soo... if you had a shorter stock assembly, you actually gain 3.25" .... if you had the higher stock assembly, you only gain 2.5". |

Still puzzled. Only difference between 02 and 04 height is spring height. If you replace them on both year vehicles with identical springs you have identical lift heights. |

your right speck the o2 and 04 will be the same height--but the 02 is taller then the o4 before the lift so the height gain is more on a 04 get it? |

Right, they end up the same but they did not start out the same height. So the newer model has to be getting more lift in comparison to the other... |
