Default 2.5" Teraflex coil lift

Just finished installing the Teraflex 2.5" Coil lift with shocks. It went amazingly smooth. Actually, I just followed some of the other posts on here, to include Wayoflife's writeup for the BB, and it went on smooth. I know others have complained of difficulty in setting their front springs, but I had no problem. Didn't have to force anything. I was even prepared for a fight, and had warned the guys with me that the front was supposed to be a pain, but all for naught, they went on smooth. All in all, I got right at 3" in the front and back. I did put the factory isolators on over the coil guide that came with the kit in the back. I don't mind the factory rake. For me it was the perfect lift to go with the 33's. I am happy.

What did the kit really give you for height? I know it says 2.5 but alot of kits will give 3/3.25 until everything settles.

I got almost exactly 3" in the front and the back. I took measurements at the bottom of the rock rails where they meet the front and rear fenders. Before rear 18 1/4, after rear 21 1/4. Before front 17 1/4, after front 20 1/4. I will measure again after it settles a bit.
