Bombs, I've got a 2-door with OME HDs front and rear. Net lift is 3" after fitting heavy bumpers, tire carrier, winch, etc. I'm running 33s, but you'd have plenty of room for 35s if that's the direction you wanted to take. I added JKS adjustable rear UCAs to correct rear pinion angle; I have stock CAs in front and am running stock drivetrains with no issues whatsoever.

I've got the ARB bull bar will 35s and a 4" RC. I'm having trouble with rubbing while flexed out with the wheels turned. The toyos rub the braces on the back sides on the the bumper. Are you having this problem as well?

with the exception of currie adjustable front uppers to set caster, Nemo is running factory control arms. front and rear track bars are JKS adjustable but, i have noticed right off the bat that the jam nut on the rear is making some contact on the passenger side rear coil. being that the coil is tapered towards the bottom, i may try to install a track bar relocation bracket at the frame end to see if that helps. of course, if you have a rear track bar with the jam nut on the axle end as is the case with many that are available today, you should be good to go. aside from that, the ride is great and handling is good but with this much height, a correction to the front track bar and draglink geometry is something that i i will be looking into in the near future.

Wayoflife, have you noticed any leaning to the passenger side rear of the jeep? My setup is very similar to this and I'm starting to think that perhaps my rear full-traction track bar is not adjusted properly. I was theorizing that if it was adjusted too short then it would pull down the passenger side of the jeep and adjusting it longer could help. I have made changes since the axles were last adjusted. Since then I've added adjustable lower control arms, long-travel shocks, 1/2 inch spacers in the front and 1" spacers in the rear. I'm thinking maybe some of these additions could warrant a re-aligning of the axles and adjustment of the trackbars.

after running these new coils for about 3 months, we're still seeing about 4" of lift. over the weekend, we parked our JK side by side with another 4-door JK that has a TF 3" lift (actual height is about 4") and 35" tires and our JK sat at about the same height if not a tad higher.
not yet but i will most likely do a dropped pitman arm and track bar drop bracket as i don't want to bother with a drag link flip kit. certainly, going that route, there's no easy turning back and i don't really see any significant benefits from doing it.

thank you for the update Eddie. 
one more question - do you have any rubbing at full flex when wheeling hard? (apologies if I missed it earlier in the thread)
[I'm asking partially because this weekend was my first time wheeling since I upgraded to the OME long travel shocks (from the standard OME shocks; I also added a 1" front spacer). On the old set-up I never had (or at least never noticed) rubbing on the same trails. My spotter said it was on the ARB bumper. I'm just trying to figure out a little more lift without doing a BL and I'm eyeing these coils or possibly something else]
