Yeah they measured 20in on the front and 20in on the back. The skyjack hydro s come in the 1 to 3inch range and the 4-6 inch range. So I'm dead in the middle at 3.5 in of lift. Hmmm.

x2. I had them on my XJ (3.5" lift, 33x12.5 tires), and I was driving in Cleveland this past winter with 6" of snow on the ground, passing people on the highway in the lane that wasn't plowed. It took about two hours of screwing around before they finally packed up enough that I had trouble driving. Part of that was 'clearing' someone's driveway when the snow drift was over two feet. i drove right down it, and backed out without slipping.
