Post subject:  Stock suspension measurements??
I have a Frankenlift II on order and an install date scheduled.
I just took stock measurements on my KJ and now I am curious on where it stacks up compared to others stock units. Looks like I have some sag on the right per my measurements but I expect the Frankie to take care of it. Hope I am right.

Here are my measurements:

Front left pinch weld – 12 7/8” Front right pinch weld – 12 15/16”
Rear left pinch weld – 13 ½” Rear right pinch weld – 14”

And the less accurate fender measurements:

Front left (center of wheel to bottom of fender) – 18” Front Right – 18 ¾”
Rear Left (center of wheel to bottom of fender) – 18 ¼” Rear Right – 18 ¾”


Anyone have their stock measurements they can share with me? I am also open to any opinions on the Frankenlift II taking care of my right side sag.

Thanks all!
Scott

I measured as someone suggested.
Rear of front wheel well on a pinch weld and front of rear wheel well on a pinch weld (a box like fold of metal)
Stock 30 cm/11.8" front, 31cm/12.2" rear
Lifted 40cm/15.7" front, 41cm/16.1" rear
Just put on OME springs and OME front, Rancho rear shocks. My rear shocks make noise, be careful on the install.

Thanks Robert. From your description, that sounds like the same way I measured.
Appreciate the heads up on the rear shocks.

I really like the sound of your lifted measurements! Hope I have similar results.

Thanks again,
Scott

Good luck

Basically, unless you know you are on a completely level surface and tire treadwear is perfectly even, take your side to side measurements and average them...then compare to your lifted measurements.

Pretty sure my measurements were on level surface. They were done under a cement floored carport. I had done some rough measurements some time back at a previous location that told me the same as these measurements, that one side seems to be a bit lower than the other. I expect the lift to take care of that. Hopefully I am right. I'll report back my findings after the lift is installed.

Thanks for all the advice, link and tips.
