Welcome to the forum!
I'd start by comparing the factory measurements to your Jeep. Keep in mind a 2.5" lift may be 3"-3.25" in front but only 1.5"-2" in back.
Also if you'd like to post pictures of the lift components we may be able to help identify brand and size.

If you have the stock top, the overall height of a stock 2014 JKU Rubi is 70.8"

It is hard to tell what the lift height is since springs sag and added mods increase the weight of the vehicle lowering the lift height. For example a 4 1/2" lift kit on a heavy jeep due to added weight may noly net 3 1/2" and after a couple of years only 2 1/2". but on other jeeps or on stiffer springs may net 5 1/2"

Also some lift comes from the tires (not all 35s are 35"), and I can not tell if there is a body lit/

BTW nice looking rig from what I can see.

Where are you at in TX, I am in Conroe.

It's a bit of a drive for you (probably 5 hours) but our club is doing a day ride thru the Ozark National Forest tomorrow. I think a couple of them might camp and wheel an extra day.
I'm in Tulsa and it will be about 2 hours for me to get there.

There was a place in eastern OK (Clayton) for wheeling but I don't think it's in business. Wichita Falls is one of the coldest places on the planet :giggle:.

Clayton was a great place to wheel. Probably my favorite from all across the country

Yes wichita can get pretty cold and also hot. I was thinking wouldn't measuring between the frame and the axle versus the stock jk give the accurate lift? I don' think I can get away on such short notice, but thanks anyway. I can't get on facebook due to my email address being used by my wife years earlier and I'm not much of a social networker anyway. My wife passed away 6 years ago and I've kinda turned into a hermit. So if I don't do or respond like most people, it's just my lack of knowledge.
