Maybe only to 3", but preferably no more as I like to keep LCG.
I'm running between 3" and 3 1/2" of lift with 40" tires. I would recommend a long arm upgrade at some point, it just makes everything more enjoyable.

How was the front install mine will be here n cut week. I was looking at the instructions on the website they seem kinda crappy. And how long would you say it took you?
I have a full shop with lifts and tools to work in.

I took my time. I think you should be able to install the fronts in 8-10 hours with everything reinstalled. The instructions are questionable. I used a vibratool to cut the bottom of the battery box on the passenger side. Don't get too crazy cutting, the battery is very close once the ribs have been removed. Lining up the holes to drill for the shock towers can be a little tricky, but not impossible. Pretty straight forward.

I don't have a lift, just big jack stands.

It could be done in 4-5, but not for a first time install on this kit. It is really hard for me to estimate because I did so many things during the install.
