This vehicle recently appeared in a local salvage yard, any guesstimate how much lift it has? I already grabbed the springs shocks and struts.

Good find. Can you take a photo of the components for us? I am curious whether it is a spacer lift, spring lift, or coilovers.

To me it looks like it could be 4”.

You’ll know when you install and then measure from the center of the wheel to the bottom of the fender flare. Stock front was 19” on the KJ.

I'm starting to wonder if I tricked myself and it was on wheel stands. But usually they lift the tires off the ground. When I got to it 3 wheels were off but the one that was still on did touch the ground.

Anyway here's the parts sitting in the back of my other truck, I have no idea of the numbers on the spring do anything to identify it.

Hmmm. Looks like a normal spring. It’s possible it is stiffer than stock, if these are aftermarket. OME would be yellow, JBA would be red. Or, as you said, the Jeep could have been on blocks under the frame and the wheels hanging down.

It does have a new moog lower ball joint on the passenger side, and I haven't done that side yet. I could go back for that so I don't feel like I completely got nothing from it. At least it's I got a sense of accomplishment feom getting the parts out. Lol

Yes! Good practice. It will help you on your own Jeep later on, having taken this other one apart.

It looks taller than stock.... unless the engine has been pulled!
