Yes...Here it is. Teraflex 2.5" coil lift with Bilstein shocks. It's my Daily Driver and off-roader. Rides great and no issues with 35" tires rubbing when flexing. I never took pre/post measurements but TF claims 3.1" front / 2.1" rear.

Old Man Emu makes around 18 different coils and you choose them based on ride height and the weight of your rig. The HD models are made with a higher spring rate to compensate for heavy rigs, the HD+40 can handle even more weight. Most people can run the no load coils and still sit around 2.5" of lift with a steel bumper and small winch. Teraflex on the other hand offer one coil for every vehicle and are known not to be able to handle weight very good over time.

I run this kit on my 2dr. I got the 4dr springs cause I have a heavy two door and netted a little over 3 inches up front. Im not sure how much I netted in the back because I have no idea what to measure now that I cut my fenders and sitting on 37s. Somone posted the diagram for the front stock suspension measurements but I have not seen one for the rear. My rig does sit level if that helps so maybe around two inches in the rear?
