On the front, can you take a measurement from the center of the bottom shock bolt to the bottom edge of the upper shock tower. A stock Jeep is 18 1/2. Here's a pic of what I'm saying. Thanks!

The Ace rear bumper is heavy so I'm probably 150# heavier in the back. The game changer shock bracket is in the way of getting an exact measurement. it's more than 22 less than 22.5 so I'll say about 22.25" or 3.75" of lift in the front. Bottom of the frame rail by the rear bumper is 25.75" from the ground.

can't tell if users are really installing MC lifts or if this is all MC employees...some of the information has a bit too much detail, or knowledge of those close to the making of a product.
and many of the posts are from low post numbers and if they comment on any other post it's always to pitch MC.. hmmm this forum has credibility

Just added their 3.5" springs. Upper and lower front arms. Ride is noticeably better than the teraflex springs I took out. I would recommend their stuff without a doubt. Hopefully a year or two down the road I would still recommend it.

FWIW My 2.5 Gold Standard (essentially the gamechanger lite with different shocks-in my case rs9000xl) measures out at 22.25" in the front-3.75" net lift. Bottom of the frame rail in the rear is 23.75". No armor.
