Many of you have forgotten more than I will ever know:

I drive a 2017 JKURHR with 285's on it. My son has ended up with a sweet 2015 JK Sport with 35's, Bushwacker rear bumper, Smity X2O 10,000 winch. Fun JK! We are wondering about the lift. What kind, how high? Here are some pix. And Thanks!!

H2 RECOVERY UNIT


Old Man Emu?


42 1/2 inches at fender top with 35's




long Sway bar link

Looks like a Metalcloak game changer with OME shocks

Quick Discos look like Rough Country

So from looking at website it is most likely a 3 1/2" lift.... Hmmm, I wonder what stock height is for a 2015 JK Sport? But where is it measured? Diffs? Rockers? Top? Off I go chasin' wabbits

Here's the stock dimensions. You can figure out what you have using this

Here are some ways to measure, there is a nut on your lower control arm that is loose in your picture too

Pretty much spot on with the info above. Shocks look like they could be replaced, I'd suggest rancho.

Thanks DDays - missed your schematic.

JKBrick - your first two drawings - are those the bump stops?

Yes. Upper part of picture is the jounce pad and lower is the axle side stop.

Yes thats a Metal Cloak lift Game Changer with OME shocks - You may be able to look at the coil springs (wipe them down really well) and there will be a 4 digit white number on the coil spring that will correspond to which coil springs you have, then you can look on MC's site and figure it out from there. For instance I have SS-2001 in front and SS-2002 in rear which is a 3.5" lift for a JKU .
Just adding some more info to the other responses.

I have no experience with Ranchos but the 9000 series seem to get a lot of love :thumb:
