85 CJ5
Just bought an 85cj5. Im trying to figure out if it has any type of suspension or body lift. Do you guys have any points I can measure to tell me what stock should be and then I can measure mine to tell me if its stock or if there is any lift? I was thinking maybe from top of axel to frame? Any advice?
 
What size tires are on it currently? Most tires over 31's require atleast a 2" inch lift. Lifts can be archived by various methods, shackles, springs, SOA and body spacers or a combo of them. Pics would help, we love pics. Oh may what to check your year code, the 5 was discontinued in 1983.
