You will get a bit more than 2" to start and then it will settle down. For the price point it is nice to get the 4 new coils and shocks.
Thanks!

The front will sit a tad high because of accounting for a bumper/winch

I have their 3.25 long arm kit and the quality and ride are excellent. Like they said you'll get 1/2 to 3/4 more than advertised to allow for heavy mods. This is very common in the better quality kits.

It would be a more ACCURATE summation to say it is very common with MOST kits to get more than advertised... The coil springs first job is to support the total weight of the JK. One should choose coil spring package based on that weight not because of marketing ploys or "I drive it so you should get one too" comments. One will never know what there are missing if they don't ask the right questions and do their OWN homework.
