Just an update, I did the swap on Tuesday. It took 4 hours, although if we had the right tools / extensions it would've taken 3 (had to remove rear sway bar and a couple other things to get to rear shocks / other bolts).
I got 2"+ in the front and just under 2" in the back. Thanks again everyone. If you have any questions pm me or add to thread (although I check pm's much more often). I'll add pics soon.

Suspension
Kinda jacking the thread here, but it's about the topic... I have a Rubicon on order and a bunch of parts waiting to be put on! I have a lift kit and will be replacing my 'rubi suspension if anybody will be interested in about a month I'll have some brand new stock 'rubi suspension available!

WOW! Can't believe you got that much lift. I'm about to swap mine out this weekend. I currently have an X set-up with 13/14's on the front and 54's on the back with the X shocks. I'll be installing 18/59's and the Rubi shocks. I'm hoping I get 1.5" all around but I'm more excited about the difference in ride/handling that I expect to get... can't wait!

Sorry, I've been in the middle of nowhere for a few days. I wasn't expecting this much, but we measured again and got about the same results. The handling is improved for sure, definitely a good cheap improvement, and it shouldn't affect my warranty at all. Below are current pic, the last one (in the field) was before, its not good but its the only picture I have on my phone.
