It may sound silly but it's happening because as you stated, every jeep has a different weight.

You suspected correctly.

So, I guess your lift gave you 3.5" with all that armor? Sounds silly that a manufacture would list a 3.5" lift & give a stock jeep more than 3.5". Lol When did a winch become armor?

don't get the whole bump stop lift height thing...

That's pretty clear with your responses.

I'm using all my travel and I based my lift height on increasing breakover angle not fitting tires. You can fit 37s on a 2.5" lift. As for the trackbar hitting the frame, what front TB mount are you using?

To each their own. I prefer to stay low with bigger tires. Remember we are talking about a Draglink flip kit which clearly you know nothing about. See pic & hopefully you'll understand. (Random internet pic)
