How much lift do I have?

[Lowcountryearl]

So, I'm sure this is somewhere in the forums but a little confusing for me
98 Wrangler, springs in the front cup to cup 14 inches, rear, 10 inches
Don't think I have any body lifts, I assume,,,I have two inches of lift
Tires are 32's
So, am I with a two inch lift

Yes those spring measurements indicate you have a 2" suspension lift.

Thanks Jerry,
If I went to 15 inch rims with 32 inch tires that would drop my jeep 1 1/2 inches?

A 32" tire is a 32" tire. The hole in the middle where the wheel goes does not effect the tire diameter.

So what you are saying is if I have a 15 inch rim with a 32 inch tire it's the same size as a 18 inch rim with a 32 inch tire, just more tire and less rim?

If both tires have diameter of 32", then both tires have a diameter of 32".

The one with the 18 inch rim will have a smaller side wall (the distance between edge of rim/wheel and edge of tire) but the diameter, and radius are the same.

Thanks, I like the look of the smaller rim with more tire sidewall
