Hey guys, I am putting together an RE 3.5" lift (front coils/rear packs). I am wondering if anyone can tell me from their experience(s) what the actual lift gain is for the 3.5" and the 4.5" coils/leafs, as I have heard that these lifts are very under rated, and that I can expect at least 4.5" of lift out of a 3.5" kit front and rear, and over 6" of lift with the 4.5" package.
I am currently running ACOS in the front, and a 1" rear shackle in the back that I plan to keep. The ACOS measure 1.75" fully compressed, and I have been told that the rear packs are actually good for 5" lift and settle a bit after that.
I also have an ARB with a 9000lb winch up front, so I am guestimating that I will end up with a solid 6" in the front, and roughly 5.75" to 6" in the back which is right where I want to be...solid 6". Does this sound about right?? Would I be better to scrap the shakles and get the 4.5" pack in the back?? Has anyone installed a similar package?? Please let me know,
Cheers
