just put on a 4" pro comp phase 1 lift and 35s and just doesn't seem like a 4" lift to me. other people with 3" lifts or 2.5" seems to be the same height as mine. any suggestions or does pro comp lifts not really measure up? I know u get what u pay for

Ya man it's in the springs you got there prob a true 4" lift until you put them in with the weight on it then its no longer a 4" and true tire size with what brand you have can play a factor as well some 35s are more like 34s but if your not happy you can always just buy new springs that don't sag as much hope this helps

ya you may be right. they're toyo open country 35s. not sure how those measure up. I'm guessing its probably the coils tho. it's spacers in the rear and coils up front

My TF 2.5 coils didn't seem to give the lift I was expecting in the rear. I had to add a 1" spacer to get it level. I only got 1-3/4" lift in the back. The TF guys 2.1" is typical in the back.

I had to add a 1" spacer as well.

I am now running RK 2.5s on a 2 door and near 4" w/ only a front bumper.

My 35" Nitto Trails measure at 33.75". My 3" Full Traction lift added 4", Measured fender to ground. I've parked next to a few jeeps that had 4" lifts installed and I was a smidge taller. I think it's like shoe sizing, IMO. Depends on the manufacturer.

How much clearance between the bump stops and the axles are you guys seeing? I have the TF 2.5 coil lift and only have about 1.5" to 1.75" between the two.

I have a RC 3.5 and didn't get the lift advertised. They offered to send me 4" lift springs if I sent the others back. They also said it was a leveling kit too? I'm thinking about just doing the 1" spacer on the rear. The rear is where I didn't get the lift advertised.
