Well I did the 2 pucks in front and 1 in rear. I had 14/55 springs before. I need to do a true measure, but a buddy has same kit with 14/55's and 285's/33's and I am still about an inch taller than his. I was very happy with the amount of lift I got and did not notice any sagging in front after addition to bumper and winch.

Yup! Some owners will add a puck as well to their rig for that or even higher rate of springs in the front. Happy so far.

35" Trail Grapplers, same leveling kit, no rub.


Front end was sagging so I swapped in 2" Rancho springs and took out one 1" spacer from the front. Need to add bump stops now since the springs are compressing before hitting bumps and the front driver side coil is clipping the frame so I need an adjustable track bar. Front springs settled more than I liked and I should've kept both 1" spacers in.

looks good! Did you cut your fenders yourself or are they aftermarket?

Trimmed. That's the way to go.

Patience and the right tool. I'm in Sevierville and would be willing to help you trim if that's something you want to do. I've done a few sets and each set looks better than the next.
