Honestly if it is that close it will probably come down to how much your rig actually weighs. With a 2" OME lift on a stock JK you will get around 2.5". If you add metal bumpers, rock rails and winch you are right at 2".

I have heard different results as far as height goes. My concern is that I don't want any more lift than I currently have. I could stand a little less.
I cant park in my basement with my soft top on, hard top fits barely.

I have a 2-door and the OME lite springs. It was about 3" lift with stock bumpers and no armor, and obviously adding weight reduces the height. With bumpers, rocker knockers and a skid plate it sets at less than 2.5" -- So with an unlimited, I'd bet on slightly less than 2.5".

The ride and flex is great, and the OME shocks have 1" more down travel than stock. Stock control arms, wheels, driveshafts, etc.
