Default 2011 Sport lift question

Have a 2dr sport and was thinking about lifting it. Its outfitted with a 6sp trans, 255 75 17's, Nittos. Putting these tires on already lifted it 2" from the factory. Saw old man emu and the kit says 2" but some reviews say 3-4.
Am looking for a 2" kit that i can do myself and not replace anything else. Has anyone done this, any suggestions.

Thanks

I have the Daystar 1.75 inch budget boost. I believe it only included the coilspring spacers. I'm not positive because the dealer purchased and installed it. I gained 2 inches front and rear with the Daystar 1.75 inch kit.

If he gets he ome hd, he should get more than you, I noticed yours is a 4 dr where as his is a 2 dr. I have the hd on my 4 dr and I got about 3.5"

I'm not positive cause I don't have a 2 dr but I think I've seen on here that you will need a rear driveshaft, also you should get front and rear adjustable trackbars, and longer swaybar links

I put my OME lift on myself in about 4 hours with basic tools...got 2.5" from it. Pictures in my profile of the before and after.
