Before the front fender sat at 35", after it sat at 37 1/4". Didn't remeasure the rear for obvious reasons. Oh yeah, no need for re-alignment but the steering does feel just a little different.

Looks good, hint, when you do the rear ,if you unbolt the one small bolt holding the brakeline bracket to the frame , the line will flex down far enough.

I was able to use a buddy's hoist to install mine and it went super easy. Less than an hour from start to finish.

I installed this with a large floor jack and basic hand tools in 1 1/2 hours. Space monkeys could put this think on. I didn't even take the wheels off. Gives the jeep a perfect stance with NO rake (the pictures are on a mountain so they don't show the true level stance). I already had 1.5" spacers installed as well.

pictures soon...

I wonder if there would be a problem with the swaybar links. The TF leveling kit comes with replacement front swaybar links because the stock ones would be too short. If you add another spacer in front, might you need even longer swaybar links?

Also, I think adding more spacers will limit your shock absorber travel (and provide a stiffer ride, and maybe there are safety concerns too) so if you're going with stock shocks, keep that in mind. Some kits come with longer shocks, I believe.
