tire size
So from the center of the wheel, to the lower edge of the wheel well, I measure 22" in back and 21.5" in front.
So accord to rave it should be:
19.7" front
19.0 " rear
So I'm getting about 3 inches lift for the rear and 2 inches lift for the front. That's with an ARB and winch. I have stock rear bumper so far... haven't installed my new bumper yet and I don't have my spare currently.
For comparison my 99 sits at 19" in the rear and maybe 19.25 in the front. That also with 110k miles on the front springs and 130k miles on the rear springs (I used my old springs off the 03 to convert the 99 from air bags), and the 1999 has the jump seats, which require either SLS or heavier springs. Make me think that the stories of springs sagging due to age are slightly exaggerated.

Will post pics tomorrow but finished the 3' TF HD lift, you can see a huge difference. The front sits at 21 1/4 and the rear at 22 3/8. So the rear is 1 2/16 higher. I am hoping that when I add the Tactical Rovers rear bumper that it will drop it down a little. Have a quest though. I was not able to get the drivers side front brake line off because the nut on top is ceased. Any advice on getting this loose? It looks like at some point it was leaking at this area and has ceased and stopped the leak. Any advice?
Thanks lr2001 I figure I will soak it every day for a week with penetrating oil and then try again. Sucks I will have to bleed the brakes again since I only got the new rears on and have to bleed all 4 wheels to get the air out.
