Default How much lift with OME HD springs?

So a few months ago i destroyed my front stock springs, replaced them with the OME HD springs and left my stockers with skyjacker 2.5" spacer in the rear. that setup looked like i leveled my JK out, no more rake.

not too long ago, my rear shocks shit the proverbial bed (i had the ARB rooftop tent with Kargo master cage) and got the matching rear OME HD springs. i noticed right away that my rake is back, but while driving on my vacation and recently i really feel like im sitting WAY higher than i did with the 2.5" bb.

i cant find the papers with my stock and bb lift heights, but damn, i know im up higher than i was.... anyone else running this setup figure out how much lift they are at?

I'm still running stock bumpers... I gained 3 3/4" in front and 3" in the rear. After 5000 miles, everything has settled in at 3 1/2" front and 3" in the rear. I not sit level.
I also added JKS front/rear adj. trac bars.
