Checking spring sag

Before I decide on a 2" vs 3" lift for my 95 XJ 4.0L Auto 4x4, I want to measure the current ride height and compare it to the factory spec.

Can someone point me to a resource that shows this type of data?

TIA

Thanks. Now I have two ways to check it out.

OK..it's a PITA to measure to the fender flare :/ What I COULD measure easily was the length of the shock: 16.5 inches from the top of the upper tube to the lower mounting bracket. I *think* it's close to the axle/fender dimension...?

Also, Bill stated there should be 4" between the bumpstop and the axle. I have about TWO inches between the bottom of the bumpstop and the plate it is designed to hit.

So, if any of this is anywhere close to an accurate representation of the current ride height for my vehicle, it's sagging upwards of 2", but my 29" tires have enough fender clearance. I might be happy enough with a 2" lift, assuming they sell 2" lifts with completely new springs, and not just the spacers I frequently read about...?

Thanks again for your feedback.
