do you really get crazy lift? those of you saying you got 5.5" of lift, is that on saggy, shot factory springs, bc that would make sense.

I think you are correct! From new factory springs this would probably be a 3.5" lift. From my 22 year sagging springs i did get around 6" of lift. I have had them on for around 4 months and they have not sagged. Also I used a 3.5" lift on the front of my jeep and this rear lift is close to level. I did not need to install spacers though any higher in the rear and i would have needed them.

People say that you get that high of a lift because thier springs were 1-2" saggy but the rear is usually a half inch-1" higher than front if you use rubi 3.5 front and rear springs

I had a 3" add a leaf in my stock spring packs on my 97 XJ. I replaced them with these spring packs about 2 years ago. I got an additional inch or 4 inches of total lift. I cant believe 5.5". Although now that I read the other answers. Yes, if your jeep is loaded down you may get 5.5" because these springs are a bit stronger and do not sag much at all. No sag when loaded with 2 adults, 2 kids, 3 dogs 4 bikes and 2 weeks worth of camping gear. The only time I noticed a sag was just a few days ago with a 300lbs walk behind tiller on a receiver rack and it was less than an 1". I love these springs, the Jeep drives much better as well and they are well worth it. I had a 3" add a leaf in my stock spring packs on my 97 XJ.

Actually i have to update my post. They settled in perfect. I drove around with 4 home depot buckets in the back filled with sand for 1000miles with the bolts for the shackles a little loose and theyre perfect height now. Prolly around 4" now....much better then when i installed them

On my 88 xj, I got a total of 4". My stocks were old, jeep was unloaded. If I measured while loaded with about 500lbs of crap back there, then yeah I would've had about a 5-5.5" gain. Good springs, worth the money and also don't sag like sticks when you have rear passengers...

Mine were pretty saggy. But that's about how much lift I got. It's a major difference.

If you are asking, Peter, then you likely are a pull-up aficianado and, for us, this is not wide enough. A straight bar of 5 feet would be better for guys like us.

I have 12 Road King, probably the same fitment. I am 180lbs went with light springs. The pros much better/more comfortable than stock air shocks, close to 1" reduction in seat height which I like being 5'8" my feet are firmly planted. The con is that they are relatively expensive.

These are stock, if your current springs are old and sagging these will raise it to a bit higher than stock as they are heavy duty springs. Worked great.

No. You might have to buy different blocks to get the ride height even with the front. Depending on what lift you have on the front. No way to tell until it is on. If you have a 6" lift in the front and a stacked blocks in the back, you would remove the non factory block and install these springs.

Depends on height of jeep, I have no lift with 31.5 tires and I don't have to reach. I'm 6'2". Honestly lifting it up and over the rear roll bars is tough on me. I'm a big guy. Honestly the diversitility of the soft top is over all better than being bel to lift it. The pain will be well rewarded

I have a heavy I have a heavy RV and only using 40% of the capacity of the air lift system I level out with ease. I'm certain you would appreciate a great improvement in ride and handling. Probably the best towing accessory I've ever bought.
1262857
sounds crazy to me too as long as the weight restriction and your height is okay I think the lift will be fine. ours works great!

5 inches bolt to bolt. I did both ends and got 1 inch of lift. It also depends on spring setup what you get out of it. Great investment.

You cannot achieve 6 inches of lift With just the shocks. you must use a 6 inch complete kit
659472
Bryan, It is recommended that you use longer shocks with the lift kit. I never attempted to use the stock shocks to know if it would go together with the lift but I know the suspension would not operate properly due to the insufficient up/unload travel limitations of the shorter stock shocks.

Mark, I can not answer that question absolutely. I do know that there seems to be little problem with a 6 foot lift -- which is my specific application.

Yes, in my specific installation, I picked up approximately 2" of lift on both sides. To measure, I took a measurement from the top of the wheel well fender to the ground on each side prior to the installation of the shocks, and then again in the same spot after I installed the shocks. Two inches of lift.

the lift gives three inches of lift to the suspension.... then the larger the tire, the higher you go... but you will need backspace on your wheels for bigger tires... I was very happy looks great with 31x 10.5x 15

These are OEM replacements, I don't believe they give you any lift over what the stock springs give you. Maybe others can chime in on this, but I'm pretty sure my answer is accurate.
1624356
No they didn't actually lift anything but they are a loadbearing shock. I was thinking the same thing you are when I got them. I ended up getting cargo springs to pick the front end up. But they have been good shocks.

I'll have to get back to you on that. I can tell you right now that the amount of lift possible is quite high. I'll get the exact measurements in a day or so.
