Not trying to hijack but I've heard the lowest you can set this lift to is 5 inches when EVO says 3.5 minimum.

Okay, hearing about and actually owning an EVO Double Throw Down are not the same thing

Here are real world measurements from my before and after jeep heights. All heights were taken form the highest point on my jeep, which is the top of the windshield frame/a-pillar. This was extremely important to know before my upgrade because my garage entrance is 83" high.

Before: Teraflex 3" short arm on 35" KM2's. Jeep was 79" measured at the top of windshield

After: EVO DTD with EVO ultra high clearance long arm on 40" Goodyear MTR/K's. Jeep is now 81" high measured at top of windshield.

I gained 2" total vehicle height. Not sure where you heard the "lowest you can set the lift to is 5 inches". The entire concept of the EVO design is keeping a low center of gravity. I am running what would be about 3.5"-4" of lift on a traditional coil spring lift. The EVO DTD is designed to get the maximum amount of axle drop, not the maximum amount of height you can raise your Jeep.

Exactly why I stated what I heard so that if your experiences differ with the lift then you can set the facts straight.
