I didn't take measurements but it did give mine a good increase in height. Probably closer to 3"

I plan on getting the TF 2.5 spring lift soon. Its a little more expensive than the BB...but I think it will be worth the extra money.

I have the TF coil lift and IMO-it rides better than stock, and gives you the aforementioned additional lift, and levelling benefits.--I have nothing but outstanding things to say about the coil lift and the ride that it generates.

Not from my experience, nor from what I've read here on the forum- I guess there's a chance anything can happen, but I dont believe that you run into any issues, unless you start adding spacers on top of the coils. that front driveshaft is very close to the tranny pan. if flexed too much, it will rub against the skid, and tear the boot. any more than the 2.5 on the rear shaft and now pinion angle and rear end becomes a problem--I do believe TeraFlex did a lot of homework on this kit, and again, from my experience so far, alot of wheeling and articulating hasnt caused any problems for me. just my .02
