You just helped me out a ton because you said you fit in a 7 ft parking garage. Now how about your tire size? can you please post here or pm me a pic of your jeep?

I don't know the measurements, but my MetalCloak 2.5 GC Lite is pretty tall. It has 285/75R17 BFG KM2 tires on it (33.9" x 11.2"). It's weighted down with steel front/rear bumpers, tire carrier, and winch.
Before with 18/59 Mopar Springs
After with 2.5 MetalCloak GC Lite

I would be interested in how people are determining how much lift they got, and if the heights given are the initial heights or were taken after the coils had some time to settle. Weight of the jeep is going to have a big difference in the ride height. Type of coil will make a difference as well in the ride department and in the performance off road. Understand the difference from a static load, progressive rate, and dual rate coil.

Those of you getting 3" and 4" from a 2.5 may have a different starting point.
Spesrf's photos o his rubi do look like a lot of lift in the rear. Are you on a hill or do you have a lot of rake?
Sent from some string and a few tin cans.

What he said. Also, are you measuring the change from an entry level JK with the softest springs? Or measuring height change from a Rubicon with the stiffer springs? One sits about an inch higher from the factory.

Specs on my jeep are 2011 JKU sport, hardtop, factory sub woofer no trailer town package factory bumpers measured with full tank of gas and no other load. As I stated previously I haven't measured lately but as part of his question it fits with ease it a parking garage.
