Default 4" FT Ultimate ?

How long are folks setting the control arms? I've never done a lift before, so wondering what to look for. I'm planning on starting this week, so I should have some fun this weekend. Any advise, lets see it.

Same lift I have. I did the job by myself and it took me a day 1/2. If you follow the link Ive posted below you'll have no issues. Its from Way Of Life. There is no difference between the 3 and 4" as far as settings that Im aware of. I took mine to my local 4x4 shop afterwards to have it looked over. They aligned it and changed my springs to 5" since I had so much sag from the bumper/winch, ect. The only the you need before hand is a bolt from a hardware store. Look at step 18 of the installation. The exhaust is in the way. Now I actually didnt go this route. I moved the exhaust and retained the factory bolt. Its a little extra work but I was going to keep on it what was supposed to be on it. Ive also added a few pics below. I have the 4" now 5" F/T Ultimate, body lift, and 35's. My friends Jeep is a Teraflex BB and 34's. He's 40" to the bottom center of the fender and Im 43 3/4". Of course air pressure can dictate height too. Im only at 28 lbs in my toyo's.
