Default True lift heights, post yours here

So, after reading through quite a few threads, it seems a lot of lifts either give more or less actual lift height than advertised. I thought it would be interesting for people to post up specifically what lift you have and the actual amount of lift you achieved from it. List any misc. factors like bumpers/winch etc. Also, please include the specs on your jeep, ie...

2009 Unlimited Sahara
Lift - 2.5" Teraflex coil lift w/ shock adapters
Misc. - RR XHD front bumper with Warn 9.5ti winch
Actual Lift - 2.75"

This will help a lot of us who are trying to determine what setup we would like to go with know more of what to expect.

Thanks for the info.

I honestly think it is easier to just search for the specific lift you are considering and read the comments, (which will include lift heights achieved) rather than having another one-off thread that no one will update...

Yeah, not exactly a wealth of information there in that existing thread.

I just thought it'd be nice to know, guess not.

I counted 9 lift kits in that thread and there are published specs for at least 3-4 more in other threads, If the one(s) you are interested are not listed then just ask specific questions.

The whole point or idea behind the thread was to see what people got from their specific kits to see what role 4 door vs. 2 door and just variations within similar kits (ie one person getting 2.5 vs. 3.25 outta the exact same advertised kit).

Obviously its either too much trouble for people to post or people just dont care and thats fine with me. I just thought it'd would be interesting to find out and have that information contained in one post/thread instead of searching endless posts for it.

So why not just update the 'existing' thread with 'your' info to keep it alive, rather than start yet another one...
