The OP said he used the standard duty springs. I think the higher lift heights being reported from some are due to using the HD springs that front looks like it is up about 2 to 2.5 inches the back about 2".

Looks good.

I saw a tan sahara this week on the stock rims, it looked good. I would say what you did to yours makes is look MUCH better. Congrats on a nice looking Jeep.

Thanks for all the complements guys. It is exactly what I was envisioning when I bought the tan color. The springs are stsndard duty and I installed the spacer in the front to level it and get ready for the weight of a winch and bumper.
It drives great and to me feels more stable and smoother that stock. I have not done any thing else yet ( sway bar links, track bar etc.) and it seems fine. I did have to straighten the steering wheel though. I will keep an eye on the front driveshaft, but I think it only lifted it 2-2.5. The brake lines look ok also.

So I dont know the actual lift gained, but the height of the bottom of the fender is 39 1/4 or so if anyone is interested.

I just had the OME Light duty lift installed also.
I got 2" front and 2.25"rear...But I just put on my soft top and it went up a little in the rear so I still have a rake.But at the moment I do not mind.

I havent replaced the shocks yet, but I will run the OME shocks also, just need to recover from buying the Jeep, wheels, tires, and springs in a 2 week period.
