Default total nub, ill admit it but question about lifts on 2d and 4d

So for example lets says both the 2d and 4d owners put a 3" full traction BB lift on. would they both be at the same height, even though the 2d has shorter wheel base? because i been looking at pictures of jeeps with these kits on and tire size and dang it hard to judge how much higher it would be compared the 2d and 4d. im guessing it doesnt matter but i just want to make sure.

sorry if this is confusing.

If it's the exact same lift usually the 2D will get more lift because of weight.

Like this one picture (which is how I want the jeep to be) said it had a 2.5 teraflex but there a ok amount of wheel gap that leads me to think he may have a higher lift. but other people dont, including the 4d :/

The older TF lift was the same springs for the two and four door.

So you would net a lot more lift on a two dr because there is less weight on the springs.

If both the 2D and 4D has the exact same lift the 2D will usually net more height because of the weight difference.

so between the 2.5 teraflex bb with shocks compared to the 3" full traction lift bb. on the 2d it could really make a big difference?

There won't be a noticeable difference with a bb between a 2D and 4D.

but you just said being a 2d it could net more height because it lighter... so the 3" could be almost a 3.25" or close to 3.5"...
