My RE 3.5" Super Ride netted me around 4.5" all around. Mine DID come with a 0.75" transfercase drop but I never used it. The only complaint I have is the stiff front coils rated for 241 lbs/in whereas stock ones or Rusty's 4.5" coils are rated for 150 lbs/in.

i have the RE 3.5 SuperRide with full leaf packs. i didn't mess around and see if i needed a tc drop i just went and put it right on. it seems to be working just fine with no vibes or if anything very very little. as far as what else i bought besides the kit was a trac bar, shocks, and a tc drop
good luck man!
