the smallest kit they offer is 4.5"

before the lift at sttock height, the top of the wheel well was at 39.5 inches

its at 48.5 wight now

somehow I ended up with 7 inches of lift from a 5" kit

the back is only up 4 though which explains the 1 inch lean from front to back

the reason you got 7 inches of lift you have to added the new tire size in to. so if you went for 31's to 35's you gain 2 inches of height right there. i have 35 ons stock wheels and a level and i rub at full lock.

no...total height gained was 9 inches, 2 inches fromt eh increased radius of tire and 7 inches of lift

I gained 6 inches in the back 2 from tire radius and 4 from the kit

i guess it has to do with the offset, and tire width

like i could and probably will try to squeeze some 37s under there in a year or two, but i would hav to have some taller spring made for the back to get the cali lean out of it
