Default RE coil spring questions

i have 4.5"rc springs i have run them for about a year, i am getting ready to put new 5.5RE springs on it, i have heard that RE sit a little high, so my question is exactly how much lift do you think it will be after my RE springs settle? the reason i ask is i am putting an HD shackle relocation on the rear(1.25"-1.75") and i don't know if i should buy coil spacers for front. i am trying to make it as level as possible

I've never used RE springs but I wouldn't expect them to level immediately.

I'd aim for 5.5" lift and add the rear components accordingly. If they sag, then by the spacers.

Should be fine. Just add a spacer in the front if it appears too short.

I have the 5.5 RE coils and I'm running spacers:

Never measured how much lift I actually have though, don't know how to measure it since my fenders are trimmed. If you know how to measure it let me know and I'll be more than happy to measure mine to give you a reference.
