Is it lifted?

[Bighammer]

I just bought myself this sweet 05 TJ. Seller thinks it has stock suspension, but I’m not sure. I do see a red “puck” above the front springs. (“To level it out”) And the springs are silver, not black.

It rides decent, but has some bump steer. Seller recently installed Skyjacker (?) shocks.

For perspective, The tires on it now are 265 75 16R, equivalent to 31.6”

(Full disclosure: This is my first post on here, been visiting the sit many times. I’m an old fart but definitely a noob, my last Jeep was a 79 CJ5)

BTW, why would someone have insta the transfer case drop kit??

Don't know, but you really shouldn't need it on an LJ.
Easy to remove, then check for vibes.

I have an 05 Unlimited also. 265-75-16 KO2s, factory flares and 2.5” OME lift. I have 4.5” front and 5.5” rear spacing between bottom of flare and top of tire. Hope this helps you.

Bump steer is often a dropped pitman arm up front. Lift height is 12" up front and 8" in the rear, anything above is lift, did I get that right?

Just what I was looking for! Thanks. Were your factory coils black?

Stock coil springs are black. Silver means they’ve been painted or replaced. The spacer indicates someone has been in there and it may be lifted. 12” front and 8” rear are stock measurements.

Nice LJ. I almost bought those wheels for mine, but they only came in 16".
