your ground clearance is still right around that of a TJ. The TJ has a 93.4 wheelbase, 8.5-9" ground clearance, equaling a breakover angle of about 22.5. Yours is 116" WB, 8.7"GC, equaling a breakover of 17.8.
also remember that a XJ body is 7-8"(depending on year) inches shorter than yours. So that height difference you saw is all in the body
Love it, I really want one of those some day.
:tup: good purchase
:tdown: to someone stealing your spare already.
