...can a kind WJ owner with stock suspension measure the distance from wheel centre to arch (front & rear) for me. Need to know how soggy my springs are before I spend more money.

cheers

be quiet turnip head, want to know how much the stock suspension has sagged.

The day you fit a lift kit on your own......

Hey, not sure if you still need this, but just went and measured the distance (ive taken pics too, to make sure i measured the right thing for you, but have no idea how to upload them!).  My WJ is a 2003:

Front, from middle of wheel to bottom of wheel arch is 47.5cm
Back, from middle of wheel to bottom of wheel arch is 49.5cm

That is all assuming my suspension hasnt dropped too, and bear in mind my tyres are 255/65/17, so slightly taller than standard 235/65/17 

Hope that helps

cheers for that, tyre size makes no difference on this measurement, hence asking for it, will go and check mine now & see how 165k miles have affected the springs
