Default Advertised lift vs actual lift
I have a 2013 unlimited and I'm about to buy a lift so I can run a 35 or possibly a 37. I don't have any heavy bumpers or a winch. I'm looking at the rock krawler 3.5 lift. Can you guys post up what lift you installed and how much the lift actually lifted your jeep.

Do most lifts give you more height in the front to compensate for the factory rake?
