Hey Gang!
I recently acquired my third Jeep - 2006 Sport Golden Eagle. She was already lifted with no info on height or brand. Reseller wasn't sure as he bought it at auction. Running a new set of K2 all terrains 11.50 x 32. There is plenty of clearance for 33's - maybe 35's. Gray springs. No clue as to the control arms. They were painted black. The shocks say proComp but no idea if they are original to the lift. Any help on finding a mfr name or number - measurements needed for determination - thanks in advance:

Thanks - the Carfax had all owners in SoCal. No rust. Dealer did a great job detailing her up too. I live near Philadelphia. The salt / brine around here on the roads in the winter will rot a car from the outside. I had an 02 Grand that was completely crystalized underneath. Both oil and trans pan rusted from the outside and fluids were weeping out. I recently started to buy all my stuff from out west. Bought my 2014 Charger from Idaho. Clean as this Jeep.

Drill drain holes in the frame and start prepping it now. (y)

Measure your springs with the Jeep’s weigh on them. Mine has a 3” suspension lift & no body lift. Like you, I don’t know what the lift is.

Measured - 16" front 12" rear. Looks like a 4" inch kit. Makes sense once I considered the dropped track bar and transfer case spacers. Similar to what I had on my 02 Grand which was a 4" lift. Thanks for all the help.

I join a forum for everything I own. Seems this forum is as friendly and helpful as the others.

I'd guess Rough country springs and sway bar connectors and core 4x4 for control arms. but, it's just a guess. :)

Looks like Rough Country springs and CAs.
That frame looks sweet.. Add some drain holes ASAP. About a 1/2" hole in the bottom of the frame 2" behind the front LCA mount and in 2" front of the rear mount. Put them where Boog said too if you want. I just figured I want to give the water a quick exit point at what is the most common location for rust. Fluid Film inside the frame annually. It's easy to do and worth it if you're going to use the Jeep in winter or rain.

I nominate this as the post of the year. Nearly spit my coffee all over the screen.

Hmm.. second thought...
