justin said it is close to a 3" lift and i figured it was on orig springs and 2 of the shocks were orig. at 120k! thye had to be sagging at least 1/2" if not 1" so im thinking its around 4" higher now. will find out when i measure tonight but yeah its freaking high now. cant wait to put rubber under it.

drive is a lot smoother than it was. im not going to lie it is stiff but not nearly as bad as my worn out springs and shocks were. the steering damper reacts nicely as well. overall im very pleased. will see how it does with new rubber and off road in Nov.

The lift looks great. What tire size are you going with after all? My ride is SO much better, when I pulled my shocks out they had no rebound at all--totally shot.
