The springs, my old OMEs had sagged quite a bit as well.

But you're also loaded down with the ARB and roof rack.

Ya it's strange though, because I thought for sure the front was lower than the rear... it sure looks that way!

Just a note about tire size difference. I'll use Radius since only half the tire is touching the ground.
275/65/r18=16.03"
265/65/r18=15.78"
285/65/r16=16.53"

These are just the tire sizes I see in this thread... so depending on the size they can get you an extra 3/4"

Here's mine as of 3 minutes ago.



I used OME 779s in the front and SLS spacers in the back. OME shocks.

Stock measurements
Front: 18.75"
Rear: 18.75"
Both sides were identical.

Lifted measurements
Front: 21"
Rear: 21"
Because I have SLS, the rear height varies by up to a quarter inch.

But overall it worked out exactly as I had hoped.

2.5'' flaccid, about 6.5'' excited. Kind of a personal question though.

When you go from center of hub to the body, the tire size doesn't affect anything.
