Great pics, I haven't got through the whole thread yet but I was wondering how noticeable a 2" level is? Local shop will do it for $450, I don't mind a little lift but I want to keep it on the low side because we use it as our road trip vehicle, just don't like the look of the factory rake.

The suspensionmaxx 1.5" is pretty easy to put in yourself with basic tools. And looks very close to stock. I noticed a lot of guys who did the 2.5 also went up 1 in the rear, which I did not want to do. Plus the 1.5 requires no extra modifications and works fine with factory wheel offset.

Can people measure from the center of the wheel to the fender lip?

And then state what lift they are using?

This eliminates any tire size differences and can let people see how much real lift things give

F 21 3/4”
R 23 1/8”

This is with border patrol rear suburban springs. Ads coilovers and 600# springs.

I May lift the front a bit. I need to see how much shock shaft is showing in the front .

These are not the actually measurements in the pic. I just couldn’t hold the camera and tape measure at the same time. But it shows what I’m talking about for measurements.

I meant to reply to your post with my last one (post #889), but I forgot to hit the reply button. My last post explains a little about what I did and why. The 1.5" kit only cost like $70 and I installed myself. I've got a thread on here with pics, I'm sure you can probably find in my profile.

Bilstein 5100 front adjustable height shocks at highest setting (1.75-2" depending on different sources), no rear lift. 275/70R18, 33.2" nominal size Cooper Discoverer ATPII. No rubbing noticed so far. I have before measurements, need to officially record after, but quick comparison measurement had my front fender about 3/8-1/2" lower from ground than rear, and front fender about 1/4-3/8" less distance from tire than rear, ie. the slightest/perfect forward rake still.

The picture is a little deceiving on the front tire, looks closer to rubbing on rear of the front fender than it is because the (steering) wheel is angled slightly left.

I think that's exactly what I'm looking for, thank you. I'm seeing them for $109.50 but that's still good as far as I'm concerned. Did you need an alignment after?

I did do an alignment just to be safe, but it was pretty unnecessary. They barely changed anything at all. I waited until after I got new tires and everything though, so that it was going to be the final change for a while.
