Net Lift of Rubicon Express 4.5" Coils
Okay guys don't roast me here, I tried the search function and couldn't find a straight up answer. How much lift will RE 4.5" coils actually give me? I don't have an aftermarket bumper or a winch. I appreciate any info you guys can give me!

Okay thank you, right now I'm sitting at around 4-4.5. Would I have to replace anything else if it'll be at 5.5-5?

My 5.5 coils gave me 7 inches, hasn't sagged.
I would expect the 4.5 to give you close to 5.5.

My current setup in the front is 3" lift coils with a 2" spacer with short arms. I want to get rid of the spacers by putting in full size coils. But I want as close to same amount of lift as I can so I don't throw off the geometry in the steering or anything like that.

I just don't want the front to be substantially higher than the rear, its already about 1 inch higher. I'm trying to avoid the Cali lift look 
I want as close to 4.5", 5" at the most, as I can.

Eric from Rubicon Express here.
Our 4.5" (RE1310) XJ front coils should install at about 16-16.5" (when brand new) depending on how heavy your front end is. Last stock Cherokee that rolled into our parking lot had coils that measured at 11". So yea, our coils do run a little tall.

Not for nothing that's the kit RE should be selling, 4.5 coils and 3.5 leafs that lift brings you somewhere between 4.5-5.25 depending on weight..
