I took the doors and top off and took all my tools out. My sill height at the plastic is now 30 15/16” tall. Gained quite a bit of height from the reduced weight.

I bet my tools weigh more than the doors and top combined.

I carry 187lbs of tools, I'm certain they outweigh my doors lol. Weight is always a big consideration.

Just looking at your avatar picture, it seems you have more tire to fender gap than I do. Your 37's look small!

I specifically went with the 3.5" over the 2.5" because I knew I was going to load it up with the winch, winch plate, MC skid plates, LOD step sliders, 150 lbs of tools, fluids, and recovery gear, etc. etc. If it weren't for that, I would have gone 2.5". I never measured before and after so I have no idea how much lift I actually got, but whatever it is, it meets my needs!

I have Undercloak, FAD, MC Diff Covers, LOD Destroyer front (with optional tow reinforcement kit), LOD Rock Sliders. Even with the temp 1" spacer the thing sits like a dragster.

Thanks, I absolutely love the amount of lift I got.....I was worried that I should have gotten the 3.5’s but I got so much lift form the 2.5’s that I’m more than happy.
this is 37 inch with metal cloak 2.5 or 3.5 inch??

What inch tires are you running with the metal cloak 3.5?

This was from the day I installed the front. It settled a little since.

not much at all(never took any measurement to be able to know). I got a lot of lift because I don't have a whole lot of added weight because I went with aluminum skid plates.

I see.. last question... would you be able to tell me how many inches it is between the bottom of the fender to the top of you tire? This would reallllly help me out.
