Standard 3" lift. I actually got 3.25" in the rear, and have had the lift on for a week now. I was expecting it to settle in and drop some, but it hasn't yet so who knows.

This pic is on stock 225/75/15 tires. I'm waiting on Discount Tire to get my 31x10.50 and 15x8 wheels in stock

My jeep is also on an incline so the rear end doesn't look too high in the pic. Here's a website with all sorts of pictures from different lift heights and tire sizes:

Zone offroad has a 3 inch lift for about $290. Its a full coil spring and add a leaf with 4 hydro shocks plus all the hardware. I have it on my XJ and it is great. Its been on there for almost a year and 10,000 miles. I've had it offroad plenty of times and it performs good and flexes nicely. It doesn't sag either. Give it a try

Around my area everyone believes rustys is the best bang for your buck...and honestly after hours of research..I can't agree more...if your wanting 3 inches under 300 go rustys...from what i've read heard and experienced rough country is just that...rough as hell.. rustys is around 260...comes with everything...great customer service..from what i've read the rear aal in rustys will outlast rc big time.
