Default RK 3.5 triple rate guys...need a quick measurement

Hey guys,

Can anyone with the new RK 3.5 triple rates on a JKU take a quick measurement from where the upper shock bushing meets the coil bucket to the center of the lower shock bolt.
Trying to figure if the triple rates will net me the same amount of lift I have with these unkown coils that ride like crap.

I measure out at about 22 1/8"

Thanks!

I'm thinking I have about a 3.5" lift or so judging by measurements and how it looks

Hope that helps.

Always fun trying to figure out what you have when you buy a used Jeep with a lift already on it!

No problem. The RK 3.5's actually netted about 4 inches of lift. I would bet your current springs are 3.5.

Yeah that's what I was thinking also.
Gotta get rid of these linear rate turds...that coupled with the Skyjacker M95 shocks makes every bump feel like hitting curb.
