I have a 1997 Jeep Wrangler Sport 2.5 L 5 Speed. I have read that the way to tell if I have a lift is to measure the length of the springs. Factory front springs are 12 inches and rear are 8 inches. anything over 12 inches is how much lift I have. My front is 16 inches so if this is correct, I have a 4-inch lift. After i got the Jeep, I put new shocks on it. not knowing it was lifted I put stock shocks on. Question will this cause a really bad ride? also cause steering to be jerky or to wander a little. I have a rattle in the back that sounds like the shocks are loose, but they are not. Thanks in advance for any help, I am new to Jeeps and have no idea what to expect. they definitely drive a lot different than my old Corvette.
