Default tf leveling question

I'm starting the install of my tf leveling kit. one question I have, how high do I need to raise it up? for example, on a stock rubicon, any know how high off the ground the tires need to be before I put the jack stands under it?

thanks

It needs to be at least 2 to 2.5 feet up for good clearance.

I did mine with a buddy last Monday. Had it done within 1.5 hrs.

Here is my thread with some suggestions:

Is it a floor jack? If so what size? 2.5, 3.0 tonne.

If it is a 2.5 tonne floor jack you may need to use some blocks to get it higher, jack it up at the jack points per the manual and put the stands on the frame. once it is jacked up and supported jack it up at the banjo housing before you unbolt anything making sure not to bend the gear plate. This will alow you to lift and lower the axle.

We had four jack stands so the whole vehicle was jacked up and resting on the stands.
