I have found a few reports of more than advertised lift, but figured I would start thread to get a consensus. This might help others as well to get a better idea of what to expect so they can plan accordingly.
I am specifically interested in the RE 3.5 inch coils, but feel free to post if you have some that are a different size as we may be able to see a trend develop. Thanks!

Bought a complete 3.5" superflex kit with new leaf packs. Got nearly 6 inches in the rear and close to 5 in the front.
I'm convinced something went funky with my rear springs because after 2 years of being back there they still hardly compress when going over bumps or changes in pavement. I'm going to be ordering some IRO 3.5" packs in the near future and scraping the RE ones.

I recently swapped my 3" RC coils and 1.5" Spacer for RE 4.5" coils and stock spacer and it sits about the same height. Maybe a 0.5" higher but i can't really tell the difference. I also have RE 3.5" Leafs and RC 1.5"/2" shackle in the rear and it sits pretty high. I'm either going with a smaller shackle or set a thicker spacer up front to level it out... along with a Rusty's Long Arm kit... My tires look small and they are 32"x11.5" hahaha!
