measure from center of wheel (or ground to fender and post your tire size) to bottom of fender and post it up here . someone with a similar vehicle will have the stock measurements for you to compare to i'm sure

How about a pic as well? And maybe a pic of the suspension? Front and rear coils and/or shocks.

There are several different ways to measure, but I like to measure from the top of the axle to the bottom edge of the top spring housing. Then if you can stop at dealership and measure one on the lot, or maybe someone on here rocking it stock might chime in.......:)

I can’t believe I can’t find measurements online. Like what is stock so I can see what I have and figure it out

Does it have fox shocks? With 35s it’s probably around a 2 inch or so lift. If fox shocks maybe it has the mopar lift.

I have to get under there and check tomorrow. I’ll send pics of it when I get out there.

I asked @Kimberly , and she was gracious enough to measure her 2020 Rubi like this..

she got 12”, so if you measure yours it should give you the amount of lift you have....ish.....
Thanks again Kim.

She’s on a stock Rubi, the picture is mine ,it’s only to show location to measure. She has 12” in this location, if you measure yours and let’s say it measures 14” then you have a 2” lift.

Another method to compare heights is to measure the shock eye-to-eye distance. From what I gather, Rubicons front shocks at ride height measure 20". If yours measure 22", then it is probably a 2" lift.

The Rubicon rear shock at ride height is 22.5" but it isn't as easy to compare ride height changes, as the sock ratio changes depending on ride height (from my calculation 1.31:1 to 1.07:1).

I just measured my Rubi XR in this fashion it is suppose to be a 1.5” lift but I get 12” this way. But if i measure from center of hub to fender lip I get 25.25”.
