Looking for someone who has an UNlifted Overland, stock suspension, perhaps best with hard top and tow package to at least keep things similar for comparison. Tires won't matter in this case, just suspension - no lift.
I'm trying to see where my JT Overland sits compared to a similar Overland that is not lifted and still has the stock springs.

Looking for measurements as shown in pictures below. If using the spots, the measurement as shown, then the tire size won't matter. Tire size won't change this distance.

Front and rear, from the center of the wheel center cap to the "ridge" on the fender trim piece
(not the very lower edge as that has recesses in it, the ridge on the outside lower part should be easier and more consistent) ->

Thanks.
Judging by your pic, yours sits lower in back than mine did when I first got it. They drop a lot with weight in the back and stock springs.

Wonder if anyone can get the rear measurements without weight in the back.

I can get you one in the morning. I have the teraflex 1.5 on the front, but stock overland springs in the rear.

Thanks.
Just curious - those are good looking tires - what are they? Looks like a good all-around tread for all weather and roads.

They are the Cooper Discover ATP 2. They are similar to the XLT but made for discount tire. They are great tires. 275/70/18 but measured at 33.25. They are super quiet and fantastic on the road.

Cooper Discoverer ATP

Click the picture, it gets bigger.
Yeah but on a chromebook it's impossible to modify the screen so you can see the lettering.
(That's my biggest grip about chromebooks - they are so basic, can't change the screen settings like contrast so some things are unreadable.)

I can see it now in Windoze.

I like the General A/Tx I have, great in snow and on really bad winter roads, but not as quiet as some say. Part may be due to the hearing aids though..........
But if I wanted quiet, I'd have bought a Grand Cherokee.
Anyway, thanks for height measurement, too.
I want to compare where I'm at with bone stock, as if I bought a new one, where does this one compare with the springs and .75" spacers I have vs. doing it differently next time if there even is a next time.

I’m thinking of doing the synergy 2” front and 1” rear. After adding the steel bumper and skid plate, the 1.5” spacer ended up being a half inch gain in the front.

its better to measure from the lower edge of the wheel (on the bottom) to the fender because this doesn’t change. middle of the wheel is up to human judgement

Or the top edge of the wheel? Less tape measure to flex...........
Yes, I see your point, and it's right-on.

I'm ok with .25" being close enough. The lay of the land, slope of garage floor for drainage, or in my case, nearly 2% pitch AND roll of our driveway, it's bound to change what some see by a little so I'll be ok with that.

I mention that ridge on the fender trim because at least in the front, the actual bottom of that varies due to shape and notches. The ridge further out is the only consistent thing.

For those who have measured so far and given numbers, your best guess on center will be good. The word "JEEP" is centered so if you index there it will be ok.

Yes, the edge of the wheel would be absolute, but this is more for comparison to stock than anything else.

There's also parallax involved - this appears off because my eyes, and camera, are not perfectly straight out from center. You can tell because you see more of the tops of the lower lugnut than yo see of the bottoms of the upper lug nut but the mark is actually quite well centered. (I taped it LOL)
