Still need to get the bumpers on and 35s, but this is how it sits with the Game Changer 3.5" Lift and stock Rubi tires.
Here's the rear Game changer suspension, you can see the control arms, bump stop, track bar and bracket, sway bar drop bracket, new brake line and Game changer shock.

In my haste to get started I forgot to measure the jeep before I started, I'd say on the basically stock jeep it's a little over 4". as I add bumpers, winch, fenders and skids I expect it to settle in at about 3.5".

I was looking to find the lift height as well when I placed my recent order with MC. Spoke to Wil who was very helpful. He provided me with the following information that help me make my decision.
MC springs are rated for a fully loaded Jeep, I. E., armor, winch, bumpers, etc.
On a stock Jeep the 2.5 inch springs will net (approx) 3.25-3.5 inches of lift. The 3.5 inch springs would bet 4 - 4.5 inches of lift.
According to Wil, they do design their lifts with 1 inch of rake to account for a fully loaded Jeep on the trail. Stock rake is 2 inches.
Hope this helps.

I just purchased a set of front lower control arms from MC. I can't wait to get them on. I ordered online and actually got a conformation call and thank you for my order along with an email doing the same. I like that extra effort. Should have them in a week or so!

UPS dropped off my 3.5" Duroflex kit this morning
It took nearly a month to get it, which was a little frustrating. There wasn't any rush on my end though, so no big deal. Very impressed with build quality and packaging of all parts. I made multiple calls over the past month to get status updates on the order and Will was always very helpful and professional.
I will post pictures tomorrow after finishing the installation.

after 30000 miles have you had to take the joints apart and how do you lube them (if needed)?
Since the arms seem to allow more travel curious if there are any issues with bump stops, shocks bottoming out or have you noticed any spring over compression?

I am very please with their service.
I also am quite fond of my Metalcloak Frame Built front bumper. I have beat this thing on rocks pretty hard and there is no damage except to the outer powder coating.
