Default BDS suspension question?

I am looking at BDS 4 inch suspension for the 2 door. I actually am only going to get the coils and shocks since I have everything else I need. Anyone run BDS kits/coils and shocks? not much found when searched. How much lift does 4 inch coils give u?

If anyne is running please post pics of your jeep and stats.

I have a 4" bds lift. Came w coils shocks 6 control arms (2 adjustable) and track bar brackets. Iv got no complaints so far, been on about 5000 miles. I don't have exact measurements but it was pretty true to 4 inches, just this week I got a rear bumper/tire carrier so I'm sure that will have an effect on height. I have a friend who has had the 3" for a couple years now and really likes it.oh both of us are unlimiteds though

I have the bds 4 " long arm and love it . works great. With the bumpers front and back and skid plates it has dropped abit but i have the flat fenders so it settles at a perfect height.

I am leaning towards getting this. Mine will be slightly higher since i am planning on leaving my spacers on that i have now. one inch in rear and 1.75 in front. If that is too high in front than I can put in a 3/4 inch spacer that I have laying around or a 3/4 and a 1/2 inch stacked. I want higher than I have now but not ridiculous. I have heavy front and rear bumper plus winch up front so that will sag it down some I figure.

I really like the price as well.
