All done. The ride is significantly smoother. I know all my bushings need replaced and coil springs and leaf springs. Hopefully these Bilsteins will last until I can get those items and get them switched out. I did measure before and after to see if I gained any height but I also rotated the tires and the pressures aren't equal. I'll fill them up and see the results.

Shocks may ever so slightly lift. Gas charged shocks have pressure in them and will want to rebound. The last set of shocks I removed from a totaled rig I had to lift the Jeep a little to get them off because there was some upward pressure.

Actually I took measurements after and all four corners were either up and down just a smidge from pre install. I rotated the tires and filled to required psi to no notable change.
My leafs are definitely saggy so a complete stock suspension overhaul would need to be done......at some point
