I have the 2.5" coil lift with shock extensions on a Unlimited Rubicon with soft top. I did not install any coil spacers, only springs and I have no aftermarket bumpers or winch (yet).
I got about +2.6" up front and +2.4" in the rear. These measurements are taken from my rock rail to the ground at both ends of it. Also my jeep is now sitting with a 3/4" rake also measured on the rail front and rear, but it looks about level to my eye.
I don't know how heavy a hard top is vs a soft top, so there is the only variable I can think of. I doubt it would make more than a 1/4" difference, if any, though.

I think you asked me this already, I'm not sure to be honest. I didn't measure the exact height of the spacers, but I'm pretty sure the front spacers were taller than the rears. Here's a pic I took, it's hard to tell, but I should have measured them. The front spacer is sitting under the rear one in the picture.
Just has me curious, I guess.

The spacers are 2.5" front and 2" rear but then if you have the factory coil isolators installed, those can get you 1/4"-1/2" more. I have yet to hear of any of the JK BB spacers coming out taller or smaller than spec.
