Default RTE 3" Spring Rate

I was looking into the RTE 3" springs but I see all over the place that without bumpers or anything they'll sit at around 4.5 inches of lift which is way too much for me.. I've got TF front and rear bumpers and a winch on the front and I guess what I'm asking is how high would the lift actually be..? I've already got a 2" lift but I need to replace my driveshaft and other things to accommodate more lift. what all would be needed to do?

I have the 3" RTE installed, running ARB up front and AB out back with SD rack up top with 33" BFG's. You will need every bit of lift the 3" RTE's provide. It's not 4.5 inches but it MIGHT be a little more than 3". MIGHT, but not by much. I had the 2" RTE's and they were great but I regretted not going with the 3" off the bat. Go with the 3".

Sorry, I didn't answer fully. There is no need for a new driveshaft or extended break lines. With the weight you are carrying the 3" will work perfectly and you can squeeze some new meats under it.
