I saw a Jk yesterday with the same lift minus the body lift and 35's and it looked huge. I have a 2.5 coil lift and a 1.25 body lift on 315/75r16. From the center of the wheel, from ground to bottom of the stock fenders is 40.75in. Does this sound about right? I'm just hoping my lifts not sagging bc I'm looking in stall new bumpers next month and I don't want it to sag even worst. So if others could reply with lift/tire set up and floor to bottom of fender measurements would be great, thanks

I have a RC 2.5 lift with the coils and 2.2 shocks and 35's, with bumper and winch, from the ground to my finder is 39.75" . Granted I have only had it sense Christmas.

The only way to tell actual height is by measuring from the center of the hub to the fender, if you measure from the ground there are too many variables, suchas "actual" tire size, pressure, etc. That and not all tires are the actual size that it says on the widewall, the manufacturers will list actual dimensions in their spec sheets on their websites. I've lined up several Jeeps that were all lifted and everyone made bets as to whose was the "tallest." Sitting next to each there was very little difference, but measuring from the rear hud, up to the crease in the 1/4 panel right below the "rail" they all came out different. Mine and one other, that actually had 4" lifts were the "tallest." Everyone has had 2.5-3" lifts and the numbers were all over the place. Different brands of lifts will sit at different heights, and total height is also affected by other factors such as heavy bumpers, winches, spare tire carriers, wether or not someone has a fullsize spare or a stock one, or none at all. So simply parking next to another Jeep is not really a fair comparison.
Hell I was parked next to a clone of mine, but with a 2.5" lift, and the same wheels and same 35's as me, and no winch or winch bumper, only he had trimmed his stock fenders. It changed the appearance and looked the same height from a distance, but was 2" lower than mine.
